Thursday, Friday &   Saturday        So many superlatives have been used to describe Noosa that anything you say these days sounds like a cliche.  It is a sub-tropical paradise with sophisticated shopping, sidewalk cafes, gourmet dining, and abundant wild life in the large consevation area that is close by the town. All these things have been said yet to say anything less wouldn't be right. Noosa is one of the finest, most beautiful places in the world. For all these reasons we leave you three days to enjoy this wonderful town.
