Several weeks back Shun & I went up the Sunshine Coast with mum (and in the end Dad too!) to babysit my Auntie`s doggy, Ziggy while they were away for a wedding. It was a lovely weekend and on the way back to Brisbane we got to stop off at Montville and Maleny!!! It was our much anticipated trip the country- some would say “That is not the country” but for city dwellers like Shun & myself it seemed pretty country to me.
It was a beautiful beautiful place and while the weather wasn`t the best I think it added to the charm.
Here are some pics from the trip plus more can be found here on flickr.

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
Ziggy looks so cute! She looks like she/he has a lot of character.
Also I love your sunglasses! I’ve been looking for a new pair for a while. I guess I’m pickier than I thought.
It looks like you had a nice trip to the country! I bet it was an eye opener for Shun! Your photos are gorgeous as normal!
Loving all the Greenery!!!! Fab Snaps LULU!

Wow – stunning! It looks like it was so much fun! Looks pretty country to me
