Not Noosa

Some of the things you won’t find in Noosa: mountains, a meadery, and a one kilogram doughnut. You’ll have to head inland from the swanky coastal precinct and hit the Sunshine Coast hinterland’s food and brew trail, where you’ll discover quiet foodie achievers and sublime country flavours. Pull up a stool at Pomona Distilling Co’s rustic bar and sip gin flavoured with foraged botanicals while watching the world (or the village, should we say) go by; sip the fermented fruits of the honey harvest at Amrita Park Meadery in Pinbarren; down a hand-crafted beer at Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co, and a charcuterie and cheese board, in Cooran; and if you’re up to the challenge, squeeze in a mammoth doughnut from Kenilworth Bakery (we recommend the Nutella and cream option).
