Day 203 - The Big Pineapple & Happy Easter

The Easter Bunny found us! Ella & Oscar discovered that very early this morning! So it was chocolate & a dvd for breakfast and a cup of tea & back to sleep for Mummy & Daddy!


Once we awoke at a much more reasonable hour we decided that a great way to spend the day would be a visit to the infamous "Big Pineapple"!


A couple of years ago it apparently closed down :( but new owners were found and they are slowly resurrecting it to it's former glory.  Mama told us that a pineapple split was a must, she used to bring Skipper & Lou Lou here every weekend when they lived on the Sunshine Coast. According to Steve, Ella & Oscar it was well worth it, I had pineapple sorbet which was delicious.


We of course went inside the Big Pineapple and I think the displays are the originals from when I was a kiddo, the Spc processing plant & trucks, very nostalgic!


 We visited the Animal Farm and met some lovely animals, they were all very interested in the feed bags Ella & Occy had, one goat in particular!




Across the carpark was The Big Macadamia which was closed and very neglected, hopefully that too will be restored one day...

A trip to the beach was a perfect way to spend our Easter afternoon
