Royal Copenhagen Ice-cream
This place has been here since I was a kid, our favourite stop after a swim at the beach. The sweet smell of the freshly cooked waffle cones wafts down the street getting stronger as you approach the store. Flavours to try are maple and macadamia, mango, strawberry or devil’s chocolate.

Noosa is a beautiful place, I love the walk along the main road along the coastline (that goes to the National Park?). Those prawns look divine!!! Have had those bucket of prawns in Cairns before, we don’t get them in SA like that…shame really.
We are really lucky to have them here. They are so big and sweet.
