Surfing the Menu at Noosa, QldNoosa in South East Queensland, is one of Australia's best known beach resorts, but travel into the Noosa hinterland and you'll find a magical land of volcanic mountains, organic growers, tree-changers and some new-age hippies. Eumundi is in the heart of the Noosa hinterland and its market is a magnet for those who want to drop out and turn on. It's also the home of the world renowned twice-weekly Eumundi Markets. They're a vibrant mecca for visitors with a vast array of produce, arts, crafts, clothing & more. Bender and Curtis catch up with the hippies discover organic olives, goats cheese, a garden specializing in a myriad of fresh curry herbs and leaves, honey, tomatoes and rainforest fruits like Raincherries. Plus they discover primal drumming and a pretty tattoo artist who obliges them both with a spray-on tattoo. There are also some great surfing locations nearby, just follow the path through the national forest and past the nude beach… Bender and Curtis visit The Dunham family at Coolabine Farmstead Goat Cheese whose enigmatic daughter sings opera and the blues to her herd. Bender and Curtis meet Tim and Claire at Garnisha Curries which is a Working garden for on-site production of curry pastes & chutneys. Chillies, lemon-grass, galangal, turmeric, cardamom, kaffir-limes, curry-leaf & pimento, weave interesting patterns in the landscape. Plus they learn about harnessing the cycle of the moon to run their garden. Billy-Bob Watson takes them out in his tandem sea kayaks into the ocean trawling for huge Spanish Mackerel and reef fish. They catch fish, but none you'd brag about. Ben cooks Curried Duck, Roast Pumpkin and Goat Cheese Salad.
