The walk
by iandsmith
Perhaps I should have put this in the "dangers" category. Overweight old men flashing their torso in secluded places could get you arrested in some countries!
What I am doing here is the walk out to the tip of the park.
There are several options here. The one my son and I chose was to start from Sunshine Beach, walk around the headland to Noosa and then get a lift back home but many people catch a bus, whose two-each-hour frequency makes it a good option.
This shot is taken at the northern end of Alexander Beach, which also happens to be a "nude" beach though the time I chose to walk it was deserted except for a lone, and successful, fisherman.
The Big Pineapple
by iandsmith
In the land of things big, this is one of the most famous, right up there with the original Big Banana at Coffs Harbour.
One advantage of this location is that they have land to expand and add attractions to.
Today you can ride the Plantation Train Tour (on a sugar cane train), go on a Harvest Boat Ride, see nightime animals in the Nocturnal House, join the Nutmobile for a macadamia and rainforest tour, indulge in the Sweetland Chocolate Factory and then relieve yourself in the shops at the main complex.
It used to be on the main highway and touted as being at Nambour but these days it's off the main route and its location is actually at Woombye, a few kilometres south........but try finding that on your map!
It goes without saying that it's a great place for families, just bring your money.
