A lovely relaxing stay with the added bonus of checking out Anne’s pottery space beneath the accommodation, browsing her gallery and learning about the different pottery techniques and classes available. I’d love to come back for some pottery classes with my kids.

Nature at its most frank, kind and self-revelatory provides the starting point for each of Tracey Keller's playful paintings. Working with an aesthetic that varies from hyperrealism to her own brand of quirky impressionism, she creates comic and endearing portraits of animals.

Tracey's art is a kaleidoscope of wonderful colours and happiness inspired by wildlife and pets. We scooped up 3 originals while there without any intention of doing so when we walked in. Our home has been brought to life by elephants, orangutans and sea turtles and we are hoping for whales on our return to Noosa. Wonderful place that brings a smile as soon as you walk through the door. Thanks to Tracey for producing such a wonderful selection of paintings and prints and to the team for doing such a great job of getting them over to Singapore.

Another great brewery in Noosa. We had dinner here and enjoyed a very tasty pizza...fig, rocket and walnut ...with some excellent brews...Bat Migration and Best Behaviour. Its in a location where there are no hassles with parking and they have created a perfect place for a night out. Well done and highly recommended.

Queensland Air Museum located on Caloundra Airfield, is best described as a time walk back in Australia’s aviation history. An outstanding collection of both civilian and military aircraft are spaciously exhibited within two hangars making self guided tours of the museum very easy. There is also the offer of guided tours conducted by dedicated museum staff members. Within these hangars can be found the icons of high speed flight, the General Dynamics F111 and Dassault Mirage 111. Representation of early and low speed flight, the Victa 115 Airtourior and DH 82 Tiger Moth sit amongst their high speed siblings as if waiting for any chance to defy gravity and go flying once more. These aircraft are but only a few of those on display indoors. Venturing outdoors are found standing proud as they await their turn for total restoration fine examples of ubiquitous aircraft of the Australian skies, the Caribou along with the Fokker Friendship F27 amongst many more aircraft . Queensland Air Museum with all of its wonderful aircraft collection and of aviation support paraphernalia such as one 4 wheeled boogie from the ‘Queen of the Skies’, the Boeing 747 is certainly a rewarding time walk back into Australia’s aviation history. And of course all this began with Wilbur and Orville Wright back in 1903.

I love Kawana shopping centre. While it's not a huge centre, it still has everything you need. They have extended the centre in the last two years and included lots of restaurants and eateries with a variety of food from different cultures. The only problem I have, is I end up spending lots of money! The centre is easy to get round and not overwhelming for my autistic son and myself. There's public transport to get to and from and plenty of toilets if needed.

The Majestic Theatre Pomona is a place i will always like to go back to. The feeling of being in the 1920's hits you as soon as you walk in the doors. The silent movies are a must see. They are held every 2nd & 4th Saturday of the month at 12 noon. There is nowhere else in Australia that you can see a silent movie. The piano player Ron West, is out of this world. At 85 years of age he is going stronger than ever. You can see and hear his passion. I had a good old belly laugh watching a Buster and Keaton movie. I have also attended a number of shows - the latest being 'A Vaudeville Affair'. It was a part of the Noosa Alive event. It was spectacular, can't wait for its return. There was talk of the show performing at the Majestic once a month. Good job to all the volunteers. Would not have this theatre without you!!! Well i will definitely be returning.
