Sunshine Coast in Queensland

Hello to all from the beautiful Queensland Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

It seems that Christmas arrives earlier every year but on the Sunshine Coast it has arrived in a special way. No big department stores – craft shops ablaze with their enchanting and wonderful ornaments for Christmas and New Year – which I can’t resist - beautiful flowers in abundance and the magnificent bird life, wow what a Christmas we look forward to!!

We feel so lucky to be in this location looking after our wonderful guests, enjoying a break from city life and retreating into the hinterland.

The area has so much to offer, if you want markets start with the fantastic Noosa Farmers Markets that are on every Sunday 7.00am – 12.00noon with wonderful produce from the local regions, another option is Yandina Markets every Saturday 7.00am – 12.00noon quaint, rustic with some of the freshest vegetables and fruit you’ll ever come across, plus plants galore – get there early before all the best produce disappears!

Edmundi Markets are an experience not to be missed – you name it they have it – fruit and veg, craftwork, unique clothing, just to mention a few wonderful things available.

All of these markets are fantastic for Christmas gifts or anytime of the year gifts, not to mention the quality local fresh food that can be purchased weekly.

Wonderful restaurants, picnic areas and places to wander. If you’re up this way we hope you enjoy a beautiful, friendly area that offers so much, in the hinterland but still so close to the coastline.

Ian and I wish all the best to you and your family for Christmas and look forward to sharing more of our new adventures in 2013.
