Australia's Sunshine Coast Has a Lot to Offer

Australia's Sunshine Coast is a little nicer than the Gold Coast. It's gorgeous beaches stretch for more than 100 kilometers. Starting at Calondra, on down to Cooloola, you will find the Fraser Islands and the Glass House Mountains. Mary Valley and Noosa Hinterland are here, as well. There are plenty of things to do, catering to all ages.

There are quiet rainforest walks, numerous top quality golf courses and Spas, lots of outdoor activities such as fishing, canoeing and the many rivers, sheltered bays and of course the surf beaches provide numerous swimming spots. The sunshine coast is the perfect mix of coast and country and a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

Of course, you must visit the Australia Zoo in Beerwah. The late Steve Irwin , aka the Crocodile Hunter, made this zoo his home. It is very well laid out and has a nice variety of animals. There are many activities to do inside the zoo, and it is a great place to take the kids. The Irwin family members are still there, and readily seen, all of the staff is happy to help.

Other places of interest include: a trip to the Big Pineapple in Woombye. This is great for a photo alone but is also set on 80 hectares of a working pineapple plantation which you can tour on a unique train and visit a wildlife reserve. You can get struck by gold fever and pan for gold. Ride on the Mary Valleys Valley Rattler an old steam train departing from Gympie railway station along one on Queensland most picturesque railway lines and dive with sharks or swim with seals in Underwater World at Mooloolaba.

With the surf, hinterland and the sun, its no surprise that the Sunshine Coast also offers outstanding food, always fresh and often organic .The local cuisine makes the most of the local produce and you can literally taste your way around the most natural settings in the world.
