While more and more Australians are enjoying coffee in cafes, at home and work most of us are setting ourselves up for a coffee fail.

More than 75% of the coffee consumed in Australia is instant* and the bulk of the balance of it is mass roasted coffee which is often well past its prime consumption period before it is even purchased.

But The Bean Bag, a new coffee subscription service wants to change all that – delivering monthly or fortnightly parcels of fresh roasted artisan coffee direct to your door.

Award-winning chef Chris White will be showcasing and celebrating the incredible produce and food produced in South East Queensland with special Regional Harvest Lunches at his Buderim restaurant Hungry Feel Eating House throughout June.

Hungry Feel Eating House, established 15 years ago, prides itself on using and showcasing local food and are members of the Food Agribusiness Network – which helps connect producers with local businesses on the Sunshine Coast.

Sunshine Coast coffee devotee Jeremy Hyra is on a mission to make it easier to enjoy great tasting coffee at home, through his new coffee bean subscription service, The Bean Bag (www.thebeanbag.com.au).

As the colder months settle around us, it’s worth remembering we are not the only ones looking to stay warm.

Sunreef Mooloolaba will officially open their new dive centre at its new home at The Wharf Mooloolaba where it will cater for a growing demand for its water-based activities including Australia’s First Swim with Humpback Whales experience.

The Commemoration on Monday April 25 begins with the Dawn Service commencing at 5.15am on the eastern escarpment of Buderim Village Park.  The Service will be lead by Wing Commander Ken Webb CSM (Retd) and the speaker will be Major Jim Campbell DFC (Retd).

AS the humpback whales are feeding up in the Antarctic ready for their migration to a warmer climate for winter, Sunreef Mooloolaba are preparing for their third Swim with Whales season on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Sunreef Mooloolaba’s Dan Hart said the whales are currently feeding, eating in excess of one tonne of krill and small fish a day, increasing their blubber reserves, which they will live off throughout their migration north, not eating apart from the occasional opportune feed until they return home.

Congratulations to the Sunshine Coast Airport on securing new Qantas Link flights including business friendly schedule.

We are very proud to have been working with the Airport, and our campaign delivery partners Various Artists, to deliver the Fly Local campaign, encouraging Sunshine Coasters to #FlyLocal.  These flights will be great for Coast residents.
