The last weekend in May was the date for the 30th Goomeri Pumpkin Festival and what a success it was! Thousands of people enjoyed the autumn sunshine and the host of activities around the theme of pumpkins.
Goomeri’s main streets were alive with craft and produce stalls. Dressing in orange and green added to the festive spirit, while many visitors had a new Akubra or ‘flannie’ shirt on their shopping list. The Pumpkin Olympics included shot put and running races, and the biggest pumpkin weighed in at an impressive 105.5kg.
The Grand Parade was outstanding with heritage floats, a horse-drawn Cinderella coach and services floats from Rural Fire, Police and SES. Music from pipe bands, drumming groups and the jingly bells of the Morris Dancers were followed by the sound bursts from the hot-rods, acrobatics and Indigenous groups.
Friday night was Rodeo night, with all the thrills of bareback and saddle bronco riders, the gyrations of the bull riders and youngsters on energetic calves. Saturday night was Twilight Food Night with dozens of stalls serving Thai and Greek, as well as the usual burgers and spiral potatoes – plus pumpkin soup to warm up your insides before the fireworks. Sunday afternoon’s highlight was the Pumpkin Roll down Policeman’s Hill, with entrants aiming to roll one all the way down hill, or land one on the Sweet Spot to get part of the $15,000 prize money.
Make sure to head there next year! You have ample time to crochet an orange and green beanie. ... See MoreSee Less

The Great Noosa Trail Walk (GNTW) traverses the country towns of Cooroy, Kin Kin, Cooran and Pomona via a series of dedicated walking trails through farmlands, natural forests and spectacular lookouts of the hinterland through to the ocean. Held over the King’s Birthday long-weekend, the walk starts early on 3 October and finishes on 5 October.
A good level of walking fitness is required, but this is not a race – complete each day’s walk at your own pace. The goal is to experience this part of the world and enjoy the landscape, local cafés and antique shops encountered enroute. Volunteer trail guides provide assistance and information about the history and landscape.
Camping is provided at Kin Kin and Cooran or book accommodation at local guest houses. Your camping gear is transferred to the next location each day by volunteers from the Rotary Club of Eumundi.
Bob and Tracy from Trail Trekkers are committed to continuing the legacy of the GNTW and value the community spirit that the event holds in the Noosa hinterland community. They take pride in the friendly community spirit of walk and rely on a team of volunteers to manage and deliver this fantastic event. Numbers are capped. Registration: 1 day $210, 3 days $500. Contact Bob and Tracy 0458 423 684 and 0458 423 684. Email: info@trailtrekkers.com.au. Visit: greatnoosatrailwalk.com.au. ... See MoreSee Less
