Wine/champagne tasting and cheese platters, anyone? ☺️🥂

The #southbankparklands were a sea of red, white, and blue as super stylish visitors paraded in quintessential Parisian street style and red berets. 

Tres chic et magnifique 🇫🇷

If a beach town can be beautiful, posh, eclectic, charming, have rainforests, everglades, as well as lots of stunning beaches, it’s Noosa in the Sunshine Coast.
