Tiaro & our meet up with The Sun Coasters

The Tiaro area is rich with natural beauty, alive with history and home to rare species including the Mary River turtle.the township has local arts and craft, smallgoods and cafes, as well as the choice of two historic hotels.Scenic vistas abound with Petrie Park, the Mary River and Mount Bauple on the doorstep.
The Mary River provides opportunities for camping, fishing and canoeing, while country roads and old stock routes lend themselves to bushwalking, horse riding and mountain biking.
Tiaro is beef and sugar country which help to drive the local economy.The green canefields stretch as far as the eye can see, while fat cattle wind their leisurely way along well-worn watering route

The township of Tiaro is located approximately 260km. north of Brisbane within the Wide Bay region of southeast Queensland, Australia, and between the regional centres of Gympie and Maryborough, with close access to Hervey Bay and Fraser Island. Tiaro’s climate is sub-tropical giving warm wet summers and mild winters. The Mary river meanders for approximately 65km. through the Shire. Some of the most beautiful sections, like Petrie Park, are located north of Tiaro township, and offer a boat ramp, toilets, BBQ’s and camping areas. Tiaro also offers free of charge for two nights, caravan area where visitors have the use of showers and toilets. We continue to meet new friends and in particular this time Kevin & Kay who joined us for a delightful night of chatter and food (and a wee occasional drink!) The next meeting in Woodgate is being  run by me and Annie (should be a hoot) sadly I have to leave @ 5.30 am because I will be doing an outside broadcast at Koala Markets (blog to come later on the markets)
