With seven kilometres covered at Upper Coomera, and another four around Oxenford Recreational Lake, we made a respectable 11 kilometre total for the day.
.As always, the sculptures were diverse and interesting. After our fill of beach art we enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the Surf Lifesaving Club and headed home for a nana nap before our evening outing to see Lightscape, a Brisbane Festival event in the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens. The lightworks follow a two kilometre path through light, colour and sounds, showcasing the gardens under a night sky.. It took us a couple of hours to wander through and soak it all in.
Feeling relaxed we moved to the next port of call, a hidden place of serenity about 10 kilometres on. The Marian Valley Shrine of Our Lady Help of Christians is quite a mouthful to say and consists of many beautiful chapels, a monastery, a retreat centre set in beautiful grounds.
After our Catholic encounter we moved on to the next location which was just as spiritual for us - a bushwalking along the Clagiraba Creek trail. We parked at the end of Bellis Road and walked along a well signposted and clear track in the subtropical rain forest. The creek crossings were all dry, so we were able to cross without removing our shoes. We stopped at one of the crossings for a picnic lunch and completed the walk well fed. We made one final stop before heading home. We finished the cupcakes with a cuppa at Hinze Dam. It was a most interesting day of enjoyable variety.
