First stop, first Sunday

Crowds surround the stage at a First Sunday event in Noosa Botanic Gardens.

The First Sunday nature and music event at Noosa Botanic Gardens goes from strength to strength.

And the upcoming event, on Sunday March 3, will be no exception.

For many, the first popular stop is at Rob’s Busstop Coffee cart, next to the poincianas where the music stage is set up. Fill up on your Cooroy Coffee hit before setting out to enjoy the rest of your morning – or your day.

At 8.30am you can join the Guided Walk through the gardens, hosted by a knowledgeable volunteer and Friend of Noosa Botanic Gardens (bring a hat and walking shoes), then at 9am, take a peek into the exotic Shade Garden.

At 10am, live music gets underway which will take you through to around midday.

And if you feel like it, bring a picnic to enjoy a lakeside table. You can bring your fur baby too – but only on leash!

Check Facebook/noosabotanicgardensfriends for a weather update on the morning of, then take the journey to the gardens along Lake Macdonald Drive, about 4km from Cooroy – and have a great day out!
