30th Birthday Destination # 2

Somewhere alot closer and cheaper than Thailand is Noosa on the sunny Sunshine Coast in QLD.


Noosa is so lovely. I adore every holiday I've had up there. Except dealing with the tropical monsoons in the month of January.


We have a holiday house up there which my parents frequent often. What I love about Noosa is that it is far away enough from Sydney to feel like a holiday, but not too long on a plane which is great with little kids.


If we go to Noosa for my 30th, another bonus is that I can ask friends to join us. Accommodation is super cheap in the winter months up there, and 2 of my best friends turn 30 right before I do so we could make a real celebration of it if they joined us.


Here are some reasons why I love Noosa and why it's a contender for my big 3-0!




Amazing restaurants to choose from. The 2 photos above are of my favourite place to dine, Sails on Hastings Street.



Gorgeous beaches, friendly locals, so many activities to keep yourself occupied...




Gustos is my favourite restaurant in Noosaville (the River). This place is amazing, very kid friendly.



The famous Eumundi Markets are a short drive away. Great stalls, lovely locals, amazing food and lots of fun.




I know some people might think this is odd, but I like the idea of having a good mall nearby for supplies. Noosa Civic is a quick car trip and you can stock up on food, booze and emergency toy supplies if necessary.



Lake McKenzie, located on Fraser Island, is a long but FUN 4WD away. The whole family went there once and it was amazing. Fresh lakes, white sand, but lots of headaches from the bumping in the 4WD. Not for everyone, but lots of fun indeed.




I've been twice before but I'd go again and again. Australia Zoo is a GREAT place for kids. Very educational and entertaining. Not a cheap day out, but lots of fun.

  1. I reckon this is a great option! It's always good to be able to celebrate with friends.

    I've camped at Mackenzies, it's certainly a special spot. In fact the whole of Fraser is a special spot! x

  3. I think Noosa would be great too. There wouldn't be many people about at that time of year, you'd be able to get the front table in most restaurants, the weather would be warmer than Sydney and Noosa is just such a beautiful place to relax. Mum xx
