Foodie Fridays - Fish On Parkyn

Foodie Fridays - Fish On Parkyn


What sort of person would not mention a long-term stayer in then fly by night restaurant game? Why are they still here? Because they offer beautiful fresh 5 sSar seafood dishes (with a few others for those who can't/don't eat seafood), 5 Star friendly service, a lovely open industrial space and wonderful cocktails.

If that's not enough and you are moaning after lunch/dinner, you can stroll next door to the Yacht Club and relax....or just straight over the road to the beach/tables at Mooloolaba spit!

This place is a credit to the owner, and I think the secret must be consistency!

Thursday Thursday - Theebine Hotel

Theebine Hotel

Well, we used to call this hidden gem "Petticoat Junction", as it has a little rarely used (if ever) railway track at the front of it, and is just beautiful. Not sure if it's heritage listed, but I sure just discovered that it is for sale! Eeeek! Wish I had a lazy 1.25 mil laying around!

Now this place ticks all the boxes - pub grub, regular entertainment, rustic accommodation and a dinky-di bar at the front....what you are NOT prepared for though, is the giant entertainment area out the back with pool tables and a juke box where you can load it up and waste more money than a pokie once you've had a couple of cold beers....there is so much to this place, so probably smartest to visit their facebook page for a full picture of it.

Bonus thrill - nearby is the Dickabram Bridge - a heritage listed bridge built in 1885 (?) I believe you can still drive over it, and some dear friends and I made sure we WALKED over it to give it the full respect it deserves.....stunning with a picnic table nearby, but I am going to tag some true locals to give full commentary on this particular blog - too much good stuff to miss details!

Wednesday Walkies - Noosa National Park

Wednesday Walkies - Noosa National Park


It would be remiss of me to not include this famous walk featured on our beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Most of the locals are fully aware of it, but if we don't actually live at Noosa, we can forget it exists! Unless you surf of course ha!

I have attached a really good link (click on the picture).

Now as long as you don't mind seeing a few "nudie-rudies" on your way (along with a few sad little peeping toms), and as long as you don't mind seeing Koalas, Dolphins and bronzed gods on their boards, you can probably cope with this stunning walk!
