Experience the Thrill: Unleash Your Inner Sharpshooter with Our Exclusive Clay Target Shooting Tour!

What to Expect

We’ll drive you through the spectacular scenery of the Sunshine Coast to the historic gold mining town of Gympie, the town that saved Queensland from going flat broke.

There’s no time for any traditional gold-panning (which still goes on) because your first stop is the Gympie Clay Target Club, where you can try your hand at clay pigeon shooting in safety and style. You’ll be kitted out with the right equipment and now’s the time you’ll find out if you’re a crack shot or if your friends should be running screaming away from you. (Not really. Safety is the Club’s number one priority).

We think you’ll have worked up an appetite so at lunchtime we’ll chauffeur you to the Pomona Distilling Company, nestled at the foot of Mt Cooroora in the Noosa hinterlands. You’ll receive a warm welcome from the team and have the opportunity to taste some exquisite gins and of course a delicious lunch.

After lunch, indulge in a hoppy delight at a Local Craft Beer Brewery (wildcard choice of Brewery), where you’ll have the opportunity to savour an enticing beer-tasting paddle. Step into a world of flavorful craftsmanship as you sample a variety of finely crafted beers. From hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, there’s a brew to tantalise every taste bud. Immerse yourself in the artistry of beer-making, as passionate brewers share their expertise and guide you through the flavours and aromas that make each brew unique.

Highlights
  • Expert-Led Clay Pigeon Shooting: Enjoy a two-hour session of clay pigeon shooting at the Gympie Clay Target Club, where experts will help hone your skills in this classic sport.
  • Gourmet Lunch at Pomona Distillery: Relish a sumptuous lunch at the Pomona Distillery Co., where each dish is a celebration of local produce and culinary craftsmanship.
  • Signature Gin Indulgence: Savor the nuances of a handcrafted “perfect serve” gin drink at Pomona Distilling Co., tailored to complement the flavours of your meal.
  • Craft Beer Discovery: Conclude your adventure with a curated beer-tasting paddle at one of the Sunshine Coast’s esteemed craft breweries, exploring a variety of unique and local brews

Fasten your seatbelt, select your favourite tunes, and we’ll whisk you away to the historic gold town of Gympie, nestled along the winding Mary River and surrounded by a tapestry of national parks.

Lunch at Pomona Distilling Company

Next, we retreat to the chic and casual Pomona Distilling Company. It’s not just a place to dine; it’s an experience, with its airy spaces, trendy street front, and a hidden gem of a beer garden. Indulge in a scrumptious lunch and immerse yourself in the artisanal world of gin, crafted by Master Distiller Robin Yates.

Taste the local flair in each gin blend, enhanced by the finest juniper berries, and don’t miss the chance to elevate the moment with a handcrafted cocktail (note: gin tasting and cocktails are additional delights on your journey).

We took the Eumundi Markets Group Transfer Tour on Saturday 7/9/24. It was perfect. We were picked up from our accomodation at Noosa Lakes Resort and dropped off at the market. Three hours at the market was just the right amount of time to see everything. We were then picked up and taken back to our accomodation. The bus was clean and comfortable. The drver was polite and friendly. We avoided any hassles with parking around the market. We thought it was well worthwhile and would recommend it.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review. Very much appreciated.

We had a great tour yesterday with Rob and we enjoyed some magnificent scenery and towns that we had not experienced on previous trips to the Sunshine Coast Rob was a very attentive and professional driver and tour guide who went out of his way to ensure all of the people on the tour were well catered for. We were on the food and wine tour as well and all four experiences were great. The cheese tasting, the wine and beer tasting the chocolate factory and last but not least the Christmas in July lunch at the stunning Secrets on the Lake where both the food and the venue were outstandinga highly recommended tour and thanks again Rob for making it an extra special occasion
Response from the owner: Thank you David, what a lovely review to read, we'll be sure to pass on your feedback to Rob who I'm sure will appreciate your kind words. We hope to see you next time.

Thank you for a great day.

We had a fabulous time at all 3 venues.

We all particularly wanted to compliment your driver, Dave.

He went well above and beyond for us throughout the day and is a huge benefit to your tour company.

He deserves to be acknowledged for his efforts and we expressed our sincere appreciation to him on Saturday.

Thanks again for a great day.
