Both mates and keen Noosa swimmers, they have securely made this event part of the annual, South East Queensland ocean based event calendar and purposely time the event to take advantage of Noosa’s magnificent winter weather.
You can be part of the Noosa Blue Water Swim by competing in the 2km, 1km or 500m swims. Noosa’s subtropical temperatures make it an ideal place for ocean swimming all year round.

Noosa Longweekend – Friday 19th June – Sunday 28th June 2009
Celebrate a unique array of festivities in one of Australia’s most beautiful destinations…Noosa
The Noosa Longweekend was conceived by Australian playwright David Williamson and his wife, author Kristin Williamson, and a small group of culture lovers. The event celebrates drama, literature, film, music, visual arts, food and wine, the environment and the community.
Its objective is to develop another substantial dimension to Noosa's sun, surf and sand image for local residents and visitors.
It runs for 10 days – that is, a “Noosa Longweekend”.
The event’s backbone is traditionally a David Williamson play, which premiere’s its Queensland season during the Noosa Longweekend each year. The rest of the Festival features well known local and national (and sometimes controversial!) guest speakers, entertainers, award winning writers and authors, free public events, opening and closing celebrations, kids events, historical activities plus much more.
