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.
