TASTE TRAIL
POP-UP FOOD REVIEW
by A. Tablehopper
Piggyback – 1 Koorawtha Lane, Palmwoods

Artist Tina Cooper is celebrating 35 years in hot glass. From her humble beginnings selling her glass at the Eumundi Market 35 years ago, to a multi-award-winning international hot glass-wood sculptor today.
Cyclone Alfred almost made it to shore in early March, and although it became an ex-cyclone before making landfall, heavy rain still made its way to the hinterland, with serious flooding at Nambour. Our thoughts are with the businesses and residents of Nambour and wish them well in their recovery.
Nurse Margi is a registered nurse and owner of the Aphrodite’s Gift Cosmetic Medical Clinic. Margi specialises in beauty treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, facial peels, volumizing injections and take-home treatments, all taking place in her clinic - a beautiful Grecian-themed salon in central Maleny.
An exciting new dining experience awaits! In the heart of stunning wilderness and surrounded by native wildlife, Warrior Restaurant & Bar in Beerwah offers a fine dining experience that reflects the essence of Australia's culinary world.
