Fish n Chips on Mooloolaba Spit

Mooloolaba spit is a piece of land which stretches to the south of the main shopping centre as it follows the Mooloolah River to where it enters the sea. The 'spit' is a narrow piece of land between the river and the ocean. It is where you find the Fisheries Marina and Fish marketers. There are some great fish and chip places there with the river on one side and the beach on the other.

Though we didn't eat at this fish and chip spot, we discovered that after purchasing a meal you can then go upstairs and overlook the river and where the fishing boats are all tied up. There was a great breeze up there when we looked yesterday and a great view. Needless to say the fish and chips are 10% dearer at this spot! But the view is probably worth it.

On the other side of the spit is the sea. This is one of the few north facing beaches on the Sunshine Coast and a very popular spot with bathers during the cooler months as the beach is protected from cool southerlies.

After enjoying our lunch we drove to Buderim Tavern where this glorious sight met our eyes. We sat back quietly enjoying a cool drink and soaked up the view. We have been here for 5 years now and still find many pretty spots to enjoy.
Rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow and the SE corner of Queensland is waiting expectantly.

I heard the Australian U/19's were victorious the other day in a tight fought game which came down to the wire. Australia therefore won the series 3/2.

And I read on the net that the powers that be in USA have stopped development of the little program RipIt4Me used for copying DVD's. I wonder how long it will be until the 'program' is incorporated into the next generation of DVD copying software?
