Unless of course one strays too close to the shore, makes too much noise, doesn't stick to the marked areas.... There are of course two sides to the argument, and both have their points to make!

Seating for all
The outdoor seating at the gallery is... like gallery outdoor seating really, and it's ready for a typical modern family.
Three parents and two children...

Gallery Within
The Gallery is quite small, perhaps "intimate" would be a more galleryesque description, and the coffee corner is rather pleasant.

Regional Gallery
Below the Council Offices, one finds the Regional Art Gallery. Although this view technically is of the Council Offices, it looks arty enough to be a gallery I think.

Regional Landscape
The gardens round the Regional Offices are quite pleasant, densely vegetated, allowing only glimpses of the building through the forest.

Council Offices
Noosa's Regional Council Office at Tewantin is the most pleasant of all the town centres, but is still suffers from that age old disease that inflicts all public buildings: The sticky taped notice in the window syndrome.
Why this happens I'm not sure, but I wish it wouldn't.

Paddles
Should we hire a kayak, or stay for coffee?
Hire a kayak, or stay for a cool drink?

A Sea of Kayaks
Why isn't that the collective noun for Kayaks? A Sea?
Part of the hire fleet at Noosaville.

Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel
Coloured canoes and hire boats take no skill to photograph. Just line them up and click and you'd have a pretty postcard if it wasn't for that bit of cable breaking through the sky!

Another Bloke Fishing
Gently retrieving the net, hopefully with a few little bait fish within, watching all the time for signs of prey out there.

Bloke Fishing
Sometimes I think people go fishing just to give themselves an excuse to wear their favourite hat.
Of course the best side of the river to fish from is the southern one, so that the sun is basking the front of one's body, but it's the most awful perspective from a photographer's point of view, looking into the light, body in shadow.... sigh, life is just hard! (OK it's not, it's a lot of fun wandering around in the sunshine!)

Yep, Corellas
After "terrorising" the town, the birds all seemed to be heading to the park on the riverbank at Tewantin so I thought I'd stake them out. They were all taking refuge in the dense foliage of the fig trees, so I couldn't get a shot in clear light, but they're corellas alright.
I watched this pair preening themselves for several minutes, but they refused to move into clear light for me.

Corellas
From this distance they look and sound like white cockatoos, but technically they are corellas. A particularly noisy bunch, they arrive by the dozen I have to say, and quite destructive if they feel like it, tearing apart seed pods and vegetation to get to their favourite foody bits. They seem to like chewing on bits of timber trim and arriving en masse to harass shop customers with their squawking.
This pair is having a spell on the roof tower at Woolies, Tewantin.

On any Sunday
Or on any weekend day for that matter, the parking bays are full of empty trailers, waiting patiently for the return of their boats.

On the same theme
I wonder at the origin of wooden fish. We have one or two of our own hanging around the place, but they make no sense at all. They aren't decoys, and they don't taste at all like the sort of thing one would make a habit out of eating.
They do come in colours that seem to be ever changing to match the seasons though.

Household Decor
Bits for Sale. Everything seems to reflect the riverfront environment, although I'm not so sure about the need to keep cotton buds in fishnet.

River Decor
The seagulls are paid to sit on the mooring piles on the Noosa River.
It's good for tourism you see.

The old baths.
All that remains of the old swimming enclosure at Tewantin is a few oyster encrusted supports. It does add a little bit of historical texture to the waterfront too.
