Traditional leaving Lilly pic
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
This trip is thanks to a Christmas present from my brother and his girlfriend of a mystery picnic. And mixing it with our 21st anniversary this week.
Eumundi Markets
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
First stop of the day — and the trip — was the Eumundi Markets for a wander and some breakfast. What a stunning day too, not a cloud in sight.
We heard a rumour that one of the stalls hadWeiterlesen
Flying West Coffee Roasters
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Turning into the street, the sound of a Valley nightclub was overwhelming. We appear to have met a Saturday morning Breakfast Beats event with live DJ. This first Mystery Picnic stop to pick up coffeeWeiterlesen
Hastings St and Milk Bar Grocer
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Heading into Noosaville now for the next pickup of salad, juices, and quiches.
We went for a little walk down to the water for an explore.
Laguna Lookout
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
For all the time we have been here, we've never been up to this cute lookout. A nice surprise as part of the Mystery Picnic journey.
The Bakers Pantry
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
This stop is to collect some pies and cupcakes 🧁 How cute. Thanks Jaymee (such a sunny coast spelling imo)
Double Shot
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Last pick-up of a meat and cheese platter from Double Shot. I have no idea how they knew we were on the Mystery Picnic, they asked us before we even said hello.
The Big Pelican
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
So, technically, this is the end of the Mystery Picnic... And while it is a beautiful location for a picnic, in our style, we changed the plans and will have it at the accommodation instead. Here wasWeiterlesen
Pucca Restaurant (Not the picnic)
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
This was a walk-past decision, which is not like us, but this was a seemingly underrated deliciousness. Every plate we had was super tasty. Coconut beef tartar, burnt butter and spice-rubbed corn,Weiterlesen
The accommodation
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Seriously, wow, what a special Airbnb find. Backing onto this forest in complete privacy is amazing. We've spent an hour in the spa listening to the forest and then again at night under the stars.
Dinner (The picnic)
12. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Sitting out on the deck, this is the dinner alternative to our Mystery Picnic. It was the right choice.
Matilda
13. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
First stop for the morning is to see Matilda from the 1982 Commonwealth Games. Looking good for her age, though she's had a bit of work done. Fun fact that this Caltex (was Ampol) claims it was theWeiterlesen
Mothar Mountain Rock Pool
13. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
It’s a cute little spot — super quiet while we were there, probably because the cold kept everyone away. But you can tell it’s the kind of place that fills up on a hot day. The water’s clearWeiterlesen
Lake Alford
13. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Up to Gympie for a short walk around Lake Alford — always a reliable spot for birdwatching, whether you’re into it or not. The place is packed with birds, especially waterfowl, which is lovely...Weiterlesen
Old Rail Bridge
13. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Part of the river to rail trail around Gympie, this was a short stop for a walk to kill some time before lunch.
Dingo Creek Winery
13. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
This was the other picnic we had planned for the weekend — a little hidden-away winery that felt like a bit of a secret. We were early, so we kicked things off with a wine tasting. Couldn’t resistWeiterlesen
Noosa Botanic Gardens
13. Juli in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
The last stop for the day — and the trip.
We wandered through the Noosa Botanic Gardens, a quiet, beautifully kept space right on the edge of Lake Macdonald. It was genuinely lovely — shadyWeiterlesen
