113 - Sunshine Beach

The view from Sunshine Beach surf club

As in the previous post, we wrote Noosa off as a bad joke again, and then headed to the Sunshine Beach surf club. We have been there on a couple of other occasions, and enjoyed good well priced food, and the views over looking the beach are just sensational.

We arrived at Sunshine Beach, got a park...easy......and headed towards the club. As we were walking down to the club entrance, we noted a big banner.....under new management. Mmmmmmmmm!!! Signed in as per normal, and did notice the decor, quite modern, a refurbed kichen, all the waitresses fussing over every body.....yep seen all that before in this industry. We sat down on the deck over looking the beach, and were advised that this day was the first day of the "new management and refurb." Mmmmmmmmm again.

So I ordered a couple of drinkies at the bar, while the bride went and ordered our lunch.  Me being quite a simple eater, grilled fish and salad was for me, and the bride ordered a Scotch fillet and vegies. So we sat back, yours truely sucked on a schooee of light, while the bride hooked into a chardy.

Enjoying the view, downing a couple of coldies, taking a few pikkies, analysing our travels and future jaunts....ahhhhh life's grand!

Our meals then arrived, not waiting all that long, fairly standard in this industry. "Grilled fish for you madam" said the very pleasant waitress. "No, that's for me thanks", I replied, of which the waitress placed our meals down in the appropriate areas.

I took one look at my meal and said to the bride, "Did you order me a kids serving of fish and chips," and I didn't want chips anyway. Upon further inspection I found a small piece of grilled fish, buried under a gazzillion chips, and get this, a salad arrangement in a juice glass, which wasn't even salad, just lettuce squashed into the glass with a few cheery tomatoes.  "Geeeeeezus and you payed nearly $30 for this."

To add  salt to the wound, the fish was luke warm. I will add also the brides meal wasn't much better. An extremely fatty piece of meat and luke warm vegies.

Where do these turkeys get off on! We had spent near on $80 bucks for meals and drinkies and were served up crap. Although we did eat some of our meals we let the waitress know of our dissatisfaction with the meals and to pass onto the chefs.

We left the club, vowing never to eat there again.

Check out the meals

Near on $30 bucks for this!!!

Great surf with an off shore breeze

More surf

After we left the club we headed down the coast with our destination of Sunshine Plaza at Maroochydore.

Here is a couple of pikkies of the surfers enjoying the surf  further down the coast.

Nice break

Great right hander

After our day (hours) on the coast we headed back to the ranch at Mapleton.

Stay tooned for the fitting of the new awning on the RetroLiner.
