Fun and feasting on Christmas
The staff at Rococo Bistro and Bar Noosa in Hastings Street want to come to work on Christmas Day and who could blame them.

“The owner comes here with his family.”
On the menu at Rococo’s will be a special six-course Christmas lunch, part traditional and part Australian.
And what will the staff be eating?
“They will have a Christmas lunch – whatever the chef has prepared,” Brett said.

Like other emergency services workers, Noosa firefighters will be on watch on Christmas Day.
Noosa Heads station officer Brian Riley said the A shift of Tom O’Connell, Andrew Bear and Colin Dick and himself would be on duty at Noosa Heads fire station.
