Our relaxed morning activity was to visit the markets in the small town of Eumundi in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. The Eumundi markets run on a "Make it, Bake it, grow it, sow it" principle and have become an extremely popular attraction in the region running Wednesday and Saturday of every week.
We all spent a couple of hours searching through the stalls in another magnificent Queensland winters day. Arts, crafts, music and psychic readings are all the flavor of the day at Eumundi and the group returned to the transfer with a variety of purchases.
Our final hotel stay for this trip is the Sheraton Noosa Resort & Spa. Located right on Hastings street, the main shopping, dining and nightlife precinct of Noosa and only metres from the beach.
For our final night in south east Queensland, we were taken 10min out of town to the beautiful Eumarella Shores, a five star lakefront location offering a selection of accommodation options from cottages and contemporary lakehouses to a stunning luxury lake pavilion hovering over the water’s edge.
Arriving at the gates we followed a long driveway of lighted candles through the bush to our venue for the evening, one of the lakefront cottages where our private chef for the evening Matt Golinski was preparing our 5 course degustation menu made from local produce. Over welcome drinks we were entertained by local poet Harry Donnelly while admiring a collection of aboriginal art from a Eumundi gallery which themed the room. Over dinner a two piece guitar and vocal duo entertained with renditions of popular Australian ballads, a spectacular night to round of our week living the wild life in south east Queensland!
