Noosa Getaway 2010
I decided that my new year resolution is to blog more often. Epic fail.
Two weeks ago I went to Noosa, a quiet little coastal area in Queensland. The people there were much friendlier than those in other Australian cities I’ve visited before. I reckon it was mostly because majority of the population there were of the older age group, and yes, I’m implying that younger crowd tend to perform anti-social behaviour involving alcohol.
The food was great. We had a fabulous dinner at Maisie’s, you can’t go wrong with seafood, steak, and wine. Nice breakfast at Elegant Eggplant, nice coffee at Organika. We had another nice breakfast at Wolf’s place, a little German-Australian cafe on Weyba Rd. I talked to the owner about the upcoming World Cup, where both German and Australia will face each other in a group match, he was being diplomatic and said he’s not going to take sides and will be happy whichever team wins.
Also on Weyba Rd, there’s a very intriguing little book shop called Embiggen Books with the tagline ‘Where science meets art.’ Classy!
We also did a 5-hour walk at Noosa National Park. After lunch at Noosa Civic, we started the walk from the southern, more forest-like, part of the park, and it turned out to be a good decision because we then finished off along the northern cliffs where the sunset was in full view from Hells Gate, Granite Bay, Dolphin Point, all the way to Boiling Pot.
If you’re looking for a quiet weekend break, then Noosa is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!
