We have been there a couple of times over the last couple of years, and being a Tooooosday, figured there would not be a lot of people around, when considering the state of the tourism induastry in Queensland. We figured we would park the Val in the main street, grab a bite to eat, check out the beach, take a few pikkies.
We read all the time how the shop keepers, restaurants, tour businesses, are stuggling through high rents and lack of patronage in Noosa. So we though we would do our bit, albeit not very much, to help the struggling businesses in the area, by spending a couple of bucks.
WROOOOONG!!!!!!!!! I figured why they don't have the numbers to help them through these tough times, is because YOU CAN'T FEEEEERK'N PARK WITHIN A BULLS ROAR OF THE JOINT.
We drove up and down Hasting street, tried the beach car park, tried the designated car parks, tried every nook and cranny.....nothing!!!! It was exactly the same the last time we were there....you just can't park.
The closest car park was at the national park, which is a skillion miles away....so we parked there. Even there, most of the park was taken up with "back scratchers" in their "Wizz Bang" vans. What a night mare!!!!! So we simply took some photies of the famous tree we used to see in all the surfing movies...all that time ago, and the surfing break off Noosa that was taken in the 60's, which is displayed on the info boards at the beginning of the national park.
After again trying to park at Noosa, we gave it away as a bad joke and headed for a trusty watering and eating joint.....the Sunshine Beach Surf Club

In the three months I stayed on the sunny coast this year, I went to Noosa almost every day. Never once could I get a park in Hastings street, even when it was bucketing rain. Only twice did I manage to get a parking spot at the National Park. Never did I buy anything in the main street. I drove to the end of the road at the river mouth, parked there and walked along the beach and back. If I wanted to eat I went to Sunrise Beach. Noosa is well endowed with public transport and that is the easiest way to get around although I never used it. I spent my money at The Junction, Sunrise Beach or Noosaville.
