Saltwater Flyfishing, Tie 'n' Fly Outfitters, Buddina

So you may have fished with bait before or even lures and the odd soft plastic, but have you fly fished? Like really fly-fished? For those who have only caught trout on the fly, saltwater fly fishing is the pinnacle of the sport. It's the only place where you can experience 1 to 1 action with the ocean's speedsters such as Longtail Tuna, Mactuna, Yellofin Tuna, Mackerel, Trevally and many more.

Tie 'n' Fly Outfitters is a small business that has been taking people out on guided fly fishing tours for over two decades now. The store is located in Buddina, near Point Cartwright and a short 200m walk from the beach. The business offers Learn To Flyfish classes, casting lessons (for those who need to refine their craft), fly tying lessons (how to make the fish fooling lures that flyfishing uses) and guides on the ocean and freshwater (at Baroomba Dam). They also to overseas adventure travel flyfishing trips to Kiribati and Kuala Rompin, among other places. These are not for the faint hearted. A week in Kiribati will set you back about $2500 but it'll be a trip you'll never forget. For more information on the goods and services that Tie 'n' Fly Outfitters provide, visit their website or drop into their shop in Buddina.

Check out their facebook page for new updates and join in on the conversation. They also have a YouTube page with plenty of fly fishing footage.

Gardener Falls, Maleny

Hi everyone,
So Gardener falls is a great little picknick area and swimming hole. The Obi Obi creek that runs through the area, creates a good waterfall and swimming pool at the end of the Gardener falls track. The best time to go there is probably the early morning.

To get there is probably more difficult than other places on the coast but it sure is worth it.
This is a monday morning schedule from Nambour Station to Obi Lane South, Maleney.

The easiest way to get there is with a car, but not all of us drive so, it's a trek, but it can be done! See the Translink website for more travel options.

If you decide to jump off the rocks and into the water, remember that there is no mobile phone coverage at the falls and you will have to go about 200m up the road to get signal. Therefor it's probably best to take all the precautions you can before taking a dip. There are two swings that go into the water; one is about 1 meter above the water ant the other is about 8 or so. People have gotten hurt on them and you should take care.

Peregian Originals, Peregian

Peregian Originals is an open air community event that celebrates original live music and brings the Sunshine Coast community together. These events are held on 1st and 3rd Sundays in the park located between the Peregian Surf Club and the beach.

You can get there by car, walk if you live in the area or bus. The 620 bus goes past the event. To see bus times or plan your journey, you can use the Translink website.

The acts can be from anywhere and you'll get updates on the acts from the Peregian Originals Facebook page. This Sunday, the 19th of February, was great! The acts included Lucas Reynald from France (great voice! Oh la la, he's French :P ), Ann Vriend from Canada (Amazing vocals, piano and a great act!), The Floating Bridges (Rocked our socks! Great vibe) and Valley Floor (Great, such a good vibe) from Australia.

The event is free to all, but lives solely on donations. There is a raffle that usually has hundreds of dollars worth of stuff in it that you can buy tickets for, there is a sausage sizzle and a Noosa Community Radio stand that sells the CD's of the artists. You can also donate at any of these areas.
