Peregian Beach

About 13 kilometres south of Noosa, Peregian Beach is one of a string of lovely beaches which form the justifiably praised Sunshine Coast to the north of Brisbane. Just over the sandhills at the southern end of the beach you’ll find Peregian Environmental Park, an area of wallum heath which bursts into a colourful profusion of wild flowers in spring. On the western side of Peregian Beach is Lake Weyba National Park, and Lake Weyba itself, which feeds into the estuary at Noosa Heads. Nearby, too, is the Noosa National Park with its rich mix of coastal heath and scrub and stately rainforest which provide sanctuary and support for a wealth of native flora and fauna.

This whole area is a paradise for those who love fishing, boating and surfing…not to mention the renowned ambience and sophistication of Noosa, just up the road. It is a hassle-free drive to the Sunshine Coast, southern beach resort attractions and to the picturesque villages scattered through the waterfall pocked rainforest of the Blackall Range hinterland.

Noosa River Cruises

I had a go at a local Noosa river cruise the other day. It was a nice sunny day and I thought why not? I decided to go on board the M.V. Noosa Queen which operates out of Noosa Marina in Tewantin. I have to say here and now I’d recommend it to anybody. Chris and Kate, the hosts, were brilliant as was the catered lunchtime buffet that they put on. To top it off they’ve got a licensed bar so a few beers slid down nicely in the sunshine.

Chris was telling me that the boat is licensed 24 hours a day and is open for private hire so here I am thinking what a cracking place for a Christmas or New Years party it would be.
