The weather gods have smiled on the last two monthly First Sunday Music in the Gardens gatherings at Noosa Botanic Gardens, with perfect weather complementing great times, after numerous consecutive rain-off events.
Let’s see if the gods will stretch their largesse to a third event, which will take place on Sunday 6 October.
As usual, there is an opportunity to join a Guided Walk round the gardens at 8.30am where a knowledgeable Noosa Botanic Gardens Friend will take you to the best corners of the gardens according to season.
At 9am, the exotic Shade Garden opens, and is next to where you can buy and enjoy a coffee or ice cream, below the poinciana trees.
Around 10am, your host Jay Bishoff will gather his guests and get the musical show underway, to entertain you with Sunday-style relaxed music through to 12.30pm or so. Bring a chair, mat, cushion.
Also bring a picnic if you want to make a day of it – there are many tables dotted around the lake’s edge for a fine family day out.
It’s always wise to do a quick weather check before setting off on the morning of, so look up Facebook/ noosabotanicgardens friends or the website of the same name.
Noosa Botanic Gardens are located on Lake Macdonald Drive, about 4km from Cooroy town centre.
