Feast on Brisbane October 26 – new this week
It’s straight to the bucket list with this Tasmanian seafood lovers cruise
Serious seafood lovers and those who love a coastline cruise will find this food lovers bucket list tour irresistible. It delivers the freshest Tasmanian seafood in a deep to dish dining experience in a real adventure. Guests dine on fresh salmon, oysters, rock lobster, mussels and urchins while cruising through the waters where they are caught. I absolutely loved this Tasmanian seafood cruise which departs from Hobart’s wharf area.
And yes! Tasmania’s borders are now open!
How to buy seafood with confidence
Seafood season is fast approaching, and I’ve got the down-low for you on how to pick seafood at the shop and where to find it fresh from the trawler.
The upside of COVID9 is that a lot of wild catch fishermen, from the Queensland border to Cooktown, are now selling directly to the public. Prices have never been better because fishers have been able to set prices that are excellent value for both parties. This is where to find your local trawler and get the best seafood tips.
Lace-up those boots! Here are eight hosted Scenic Rim Walks to try
Whether you’re after a week-long wander through World Heritage-listed forests with a hatted-chef dining experience included, or a day-time hike to a gorgeous waterfall, the Scenic Rim has a hosted hike for you! Personally, I’m a dining experience focused walker, but you might prefer a moonlight mountain wander. Here’s where to find eight hosted Scenic Rim walks.
Noosa vibes come to you with a reader bonus
Are you missing that special feeling that comes with a stay at Noosa? It’s one of my favourite spots and I’ve been daydreaming to the aroma of Acqua Noosa while writing this post. Created by Katja Anton using Australian botanicals, it has a light, fresh marine scent (think sea salt spray and suntan oil) with citrus herbal top notes (a light summer breeze) and opens up with sandalwood and amber. It reminds me of that freshness I feel when I walk out of the ocean dripping in seawater.
This could be the perfect present for that friend who can’t make it to Noosa this year.
Buy it online for $79 at Acqua Noosa with free shipping for Eat drink and be Kerry readers on your first order until Christmas. Use the code ACQUASHIP in the comments section on the online order form for the deal.
