A girl, her car and her guitar

If it’s been a while since you visited View Restaurant at Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas, then it’s time this Saturday to head up the hill, take in the views and ambience while enjoying a very special performance by Mel Yeates.
Armed only with her car and a guitar, Mel Yeates has been busking her way around Australia since December 2016 to raise $100,000 for Beyondblue (anxiety and depression awareness) and Love Your Sister (cancer research). She started off with an initial target to raise $20,000 in 20 months for these charities, and in the last 11 months has driven 35,000km, played more than 100 gigs, and has raised over $92,000. She has only five more gigs and one more month left of her fund-raising year, and is confident that she will completely smash this target.
“It’s been such an amazing year – I’ve seen so much of Australia that I probably would never have visited, and met thousands of people around the nation. Many who have opened up their hearts to the causes, and homes so I had a place to sleep,” she says.
Mel will be performing at View Restaurant, Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas, at 4.30pm on Saturday 21 October. A $5 cover charge will be donated to the charity (patrons will receive a free drink from the View Bar and Restaurant). There will also be a raffle to raise money for Beyondblue and Love Your Sister.
Grab a group and head along to this amazing opportunity to support these inspiring foundations at View Restaurant and Bar, at Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas, 33A Viewland Drive, Noosa Heads. Contact 5455 2205 for details and bookings.
