Much of the appeal of Kin Kin is the rolling hills and valleys, as well as the sub-tropical bushland and rainforest areas.
Add to that the history of the area and the active community and you have an engaging lifestyle.
Part of that comes from such activities as the monthly community market, held at the recreation reserve off the main street.
Here the emphasis is on local produce, artists and activities.
The theme for the market this Sunday 5 November is bush tucker.
There will be a bush tucker food van and bush tucker stalls – 50 carefully curated artisanal stalls, great food, drinks, and fresh produce.
Noosa and District Landcare will be donating edible native seedlings for Kin Kin Bush Care to hand out to market-goers.
Hayden Hack Music will be performing and there will be free kids eco-tainment thanks to market regulars Marc and Milly from Joyology,.
Marc and Milly will provide a bush tucker puppet show with characters from witchery grubs to worms.
Kin Kin Market’s Anna Poteri said Kin Kin had a really good feel to it and that the area had a heritage of bush tucker.
The primary school is at the heart of the community and grows its own fruit and vegetables. It runs a school kitchen for the tuck shop from the produce they pick.
The school is one of the regular stall-holders at the market, that runs from 8am-midday on Kin Kin oval.
The Bush Tucker theme follows on from the successful Artists Market on the first Sunday in October.
“It was so good,’’ Anna said. “There were artists everywhere, doing their art.
“People were joining in, someone was on a potters wheel and there were sip’n’paint sessions.
Pomona and District Kindergarten were doing face painting.
