Donald Family Holiday
Hello All,
I just thought of a few ideas for the next family trip to Jacaranda Cottages.
Since this is a family get to together, we should aim to spend some time together and I thought meal time is the best. Alyson & myself will be arriving reasonably early on the Friday afternoon. We thought we would put on a pot of Moroccan Chicken with Cous Cous (or another suggestion) so that when you arrive you can just grab a feed and be ready for a relaxing evening or a snooze.
I was thinking if we throw a few dollars into that hat we could get enough stuff for a few BBQ's etc, If you let me know we can organise a list of wants and we will get it Friday afternoon, so we don't waste time shopping on Saturday. It's just an idea.
Info Links of things to do in the area
Landsborough Big Kart Track is about 25km's from the Jacaranda Cottages. There is Kart riding and some sort of Bungie Slingshot. Looks fun anyways.
Maleny Mountain Wines is on the road to Jacaranda Cottages. If we go as a group we need to book two weeks in advance or alternatively we could just rock up and cause havoc.
