Where’s a good place to enjoy Fathers Day on Sunday, September 5?
Noosa Botanic Gardens – that’s where.
There’s a host of happenings at the gardens on that day, starting with a Bird Walk at 8-9am where noted avian photographer Karl Granzien will identify some of the birdlife that calls the gardens home.
From 10am to noon, you can head down to the poinciana trees near the Shade Garden to listen to the Noosa Orchestra Wind Quintet, a blend of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn, as they send a soothing sound through the gardens.
The Shade Garden itself will be open Sunday morning, as it is on the first Sunday of each month.
The Botanic Gardens Friends have also organised for a coffee van to be on hand to quench the thirsts, and you can bring a picnic down and grab one of the many little hideaway spots next to the lake to enjoy some good family time.
And you can bring your dog – as long as it remains on a leash.
It’s all taking place Sunday, September 5, from 9am at Noosa Botanic Gardens at Lake Macdonald, only 4km along Lake Macdonald Drive from Cooroy.
Meanwhile, the Friends of the Botanic Gardens are excited they have received $500 in a community grant, which is to be the first step towards providing an electric golf buggy for people with mobility issues, to enjoy the gardens.
