Still Spoonarama but on a smaller scale. Around the walls of Round Table Coffee, you will still find over 6,500 teaspoons, always accessible to all to see. Throughout Spoonarama there are over 24,000 teaspoons grouped by country, states, animals, schools, royalty, trophies, collector club issued, Olympic/Commonwealth games, theme parks, holiday islands, specific maker/manufacturers and many more. This is the biggest souvenir teaspoon collection on display in Queensland. When Round Table Coffee opened in late 2014, there was a small rack of teaspoons on the wall. These were what Allie and Jeremy Jucha had collected themselves over a few years. They became a topic of conversation, and visitors to the shop began to offer their own small collections to add to the walls. In October 2019, the three-day teaspoon exhibition was set up. 5,500 teaspoons were sorted into various categories, and specific racks were made by Jeremy, which gave space for Australian state teaspoons. Those three days saw more than 140 people browse through, and the response was very positive and encouraging. In late 2020 another shop became available permanently, and Spoonarama was borne of Round Table Coffee. The current display is slightly smaller than previous but there is still a mighty selection to see.

An attraction that has history, beauty and great angling qualities, the Woody Point Jetty is a popular destination for all, especially photographers. Try your hand at fishing all year-round, and while ideal fishing times may vary, you can’t go past a sunrise or sunset fish with the beautiful hues of yellow, orange and red bounce across the horizon and reflecting in the water. If fishing isn’t on your list of things to do, a picnic or a nice stroll along the waterfront are always a great alternative. There are plenty of fish and chips shops in the local vicinity as well as The Belvedere Hotel, known colloquially as the home of celebrations.
