A Christmas message from your Mayor

T

he Sunshine Coast is a wonderful place for Christmas and New Year celebrations.

There is always plenty to experience and enjoy, with events for all ages across our region.

In what is now an annual tradition, Sunshine Coast Council has partnered with the team at My Weekly Preview, who are great supporters of our healthy, smart, creative region, to publish all the event information you need in this special edition.

It’s your most comprehensive guide to what’s on in our region.

In these pages you will find a wide range of councilsupported Christmas and New Year events which reflect the lifestyle, cultural values and diversity of our Sunshine Coast community.

There are many highlights to look forward to, including: • The spectacular Community Christmas trees and lighting in 20 locations.

• Community carols and Christmas-themed events along the coast and into the hinterland, including 15 funded by council’s Community Grants program.

• Special council-sponsored Christmas events in Coolum, Nambour, Cotton Tree, Beerwah and Kings Beach.

• The spectacular, family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebrations at Mooloolaba, Coolum and Caloundra.

As well as keeping this guide close by, you can visit council’s website – sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au – to find out more about what’s happening in your local community.

I invite you to share your celebrations and experiences on social media using #sunshinecoast and #healthysmartcreative.

Please stay safe over the holiday period, relax, keep cool, look out for each other and have fun.

On behalf of my family and our council, I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season and we look forward to sharing another memorable year in 2019.

Mayor Mark Jamieson

… g n o l Sing a RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose.

And, if you ever saw it you would even say it glowed.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee: “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history.”

It wouldn’t be Christmas on the Sunshine Coast without a Christmas Carols’ event or two. Here are three of our favourite songs to get you in the spirit.

AWAY IN A MANGER Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in your tender care, and take us to heaven to live with you there.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town.

He’s making a list And checking it twice He’s gonna find out Who’s naughty or nice Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sakes!

Holiday fun SEE MOOLOOLABA FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE

99 AIRCRAFT ON SITE Queensland Air Museum recently acquired its 99th historically significant aircraft, a Macchi Trainer operated by the RAAF from 1971 and delivered to the Caloundra museum in early October.

This acquisition follows quickly after the Orion P3, which rests at the Sunshine Coast Airport pending disassembly, transport to Caloundra, and reassembly – a huge challenge for the a 60-tonne aircraft with a

30-metre long wingspan.

There has been a lot going on at the QAM recently with acquisitions and restoration works.

And, with 99 historic aircraft and many other displays, the museum is the ideal spot to spend several memorable hours these school holidays.

7 Pathfinder Drive, Caloundra, qam.com.au

If you want to see Mooloolaba in a new light, then Sunreef Mooloolaba’s new Shoreline or Sunset Cruises aboard Whale One are for you. The shoreline cruise meanders up the Mooloolah River and out along the gorgeous Sunshine Coast beaches and shoreline. If you keep your eyes peeled, you can even see resident wildlife including sea turtles, birds and even the occasional dolphin.

The two-hour cruise is a great way to spend time with friends and family onboard the luxury catamaran Whale One. Sunset Cruises travel through the Mooloolah River waterways, with the opportunity to see the sun set over Mooloolaba from the river mouth while listening to great live music from local musicians. For all cruises you can pre-order gourmet food boxes created by The Dock Mooloolaba and choose from meat or vegetarian antipasto platters for two, oysters or Mooloolaba Prawns. There

is also a licensed bar onboard. All cruises are just $25 per person plus your selection of food. Check out the website for cruise times.

RICE BOI You could be forgiven for feeling like you’ve been transported to a Melbourne laneway when you step inside The Wharf Mooloolaba’s Asian street food sensation Rice Boi. This is inventive Asian fusion fare at its most accessible, think 10-hour coconut braised beef in a sweet fragrant curry, katsu curry fries and crispy eggplant chips in a black vinegar caramel. Great for groups, Rice Boi is packed for lunch and dinner and accepts walk-ins only. Hot tip: beat the queue and head to their upstairs bar and relax on the deck with a cold brew while you wait for a table.

Pioneers of the ocean recreation scene, Sunreef Mooloolaba are the scuba diving and snorkelling experts and were the first in Australia to offer the swimming with humpback whales experience in addition to its popular whale watching tours and scuba diving expeditions to the wreck of the HMAS Brisbane. Dedicated to delivering each guest an unforgettable water-based experience, the team at Sunreef are the best in the business and while it’s hard to go past a shoreline or sunset cruise on Whale One, they also have jet skis, kayaks, SUPS, bikes and fishing gear for hire.

MOOLOOLABA CANAL CRUISES Cruising the Mooloolah River and canal system for more than 27 years, the MV Mudjimba is, like The Wharf Mooloolaba, an icon of the region. Built in 1963 as a Brisbane Cross River ferry, this vessel boat is the only timber ferry of its kind still in operation on the Sunshine Coast.

During the one-hour cruise you’ll learn some of the local history of the area, discover points of interest and feed the local pelicans. You can also catch a glimpse into the luxury homes and yachts lining the river and be entertained with the best live commentary on the water from friendly and experienced skippers who will even let your children steer alongside them.

Named for the iconic two-piece cocktail maker, Boston Shaker Bar is an intimate cocktail and live music lounge hidden away in the heart of The Wharf Mooloolaba.

Channel the spirit of the prohibition-era 1920s with a classic or signature cocktail expertly crafted from a top shelf selection of premium spirits and liqueurs as you lounge in a plush velvet lined booth. The soulful strains of the Sunshine Coast’s best live musicians ensure every visit is a memorable one at the Coast’s sexiest new cocktail bar.

FIOR DI LATTE From one of the chefs behind award-winning Peregian Beach restaurant Pitchfork, Fior Di Latte is an artisanal gelataria already gathering a cult following at The Wharf Mooloolaba for flavours like Fairy Bread, Campari and Orange, Turkish Delight and Salted Caramel, as well as instaworthy décor.

EL BIGOTON Headed up by Brazilian husband and wife team Alexsandro Arpini and Ana Souza since 2017, El Bigoton is a casual eatery and takeaway specialising in Latin American Street Food. Since taking over El Bigoton last year, Alex and Ana have expanded the menu to include not just the Mexican food people love, but new flavours from other Latin American countries, like arepas from Venezuela and popular Argentinean and Brazilian snacks.

CHRISTMAS BOAT PARADE The Mooloolaba Christmas Boat Parade organised by Mooloolaba Yacht Club is an institution in these parts. The flotilla of elaborately decorated vessels begins at The Wharf Mooloolaba and

cruises the waterways and canals of the Mooloolah River offering thousands of on-lookers the chance to revel in the Christmas spirit. Later than usual this year because of tides, the Christmas Boat Parade on Saturday, December 22 is the perfect chance to relax with family and friends and ease into the Christmas festivities. The cruise boats at The Wharf Mooloolaba all have opportunities to join the parade or why not make a booking at one of the great restaurants, so you can catch parade and enjoy this festive time.

Just be warned – book early to secure your place.
