I took some Canadian friends, who were thinking of moving to Australia for a tree-change, to Olinda. They loved the town's rural feel but with all the arty crafty cafe society that they needed.
ReplyDeleteWe often pop up to Olinda on a weekend Nick. Great spot. I love the way the houses are dwarfed by this huge tree.
