Typically held in early spring, Noosa's official culinary event reminds community members and visitors of the values that they uphold throughout the year—utilizing locally harvested ingredients, finding inspiration from numerous cultures and pairing dishes with the finest wines in Australia. You'll get the chance to tour spice farms that are clearly inspired by Asian customs, sit in on cooking demonstrations led by renowned chefs such as David Thompson and sample some of the Outback's signature dishes, including wallaby fillet with a macadamia nut puree.
