The 1st nice town on the Sunshine coast by the Beach
Con
Maybe not the excitement of the Gold Coast
In a nutshell
Excellent far away from Brisbane and is not overly urban
keida84 Says: You can find the Eumundi Market in the little town of Eumundi. Their policy is it must be: baked, designed, hand sewn or grows. Every Saturday and Wednesday, under the shade of the Hertitage fig, the marketplace comes alive with people from all walks of life to purchase...
balhannah Says: Currimundi Lake is the ideal spot for families with small children as it provides a safe, sheltered area for swimming, patrolled by Surf Lifesavers. Take care where the lake meets the surf because of strong currents when the tide is changing.Good fishing can be had all year...
balhannah Says: Dicky Beach is named after the shipwreck the S.S. Dicky and is the only recreational beach in the world to be named after a Shipwreck. In 1893, the S.S. Dicky ran aground and this is where it rests today. There isn't much left to look at, but it makes an interesting...
balhannah Says: Shelly beach is a beautiful little beach nestled between Moffat Headland and Kings Beach.There are rocks on either side with the Beach in the centre. At the southern end of Shelly Beach is rocky Caloundra Head (also known as Wickham Point). A plaque here reminds us of the...
balhannah Says: The Headland walkway is a lovely walk from Moffat Beach to King's beach. As you walk along the path, look down, here you will find bronze plaques with the names of personnel that have served in the past conflicts. The ANZAC War Memorial is located here too.The views of the...
balhannah Says: As you head into Caloundra from Brisbane, turn right into Landsborough Park Place which joins the Esplanade road.This is a quieter beach area of Caloundra where families come. It is where Pumicestone Passage enters the Ocean, so the water is calmer in here and is quite...
balhannah Says: Its not only for Adults, the children can have fun here as well, at the Aussie World Fun Park. There are a lot of different rides that you can do, and the whole family could join in as well on somOPEN.. DAILY from 9am to 5pm. Rides start at 10am. Closed Christmas Day....
The Coffee Club - on the Esplanade: Coffee & more with Waterfront View
pedroswift Says: We have sought waterfront dining places all over the world. Good ones are few and far between. Here is one located with stunning views and heaps of people watching opportunities. A slight down side is the intervening road but that doesn't block the view.The Coffee Club in...
stevemt Says: Very good local food and very well priced.Their small sized dishes are big enough for most people as a main.Their seafood platters for 2 look fantastic (I saw three of them go out)
Queensland & Northern TerritoryAir Service QUANTAS
keida84 Says: We wanted to go up north into the state of Queensland where Caloundra was located. Since Caloundra is a good distance from Sydney it was necessary to fly, but we had to land in the closest city, which was Brisbane. Then we took the airport bus up to Caloundra.I booked our...
keida84 Says: I was able to make the necessary arrangments for pick up at the Brisbane airport prior to landing in Australia. Sunair has a great website which enables you to choose the type of service required for your trip. Our plane was quite late getting in from Sydney, but the next...
Bulcock St Market: SUNDAY MARKET
stevemt Says: This is a sunday market in the main st of Caloundra.Its great fun, there is a huge variety of stalls selling local arts and crafts, the usual food stalls, fresh produce, clothing galore and many other things as well.Well worth a stroll.open 8am to 1pm.As a bonus, all the...
CALOUNDRA CRAFT MARKET: LOCAL CRAFTS
stevemt Says: This market is smallish, but fun to browse through. Local crafts
keida84 Says: We were in a little restaurant downtown Caloundra waiting out a rain shower. I walked by the gum and candy machines and noticed these little white paper bags hanging from the body of the machine.Upon closer inspection I realised that these bags were provided as a courtesy so...
keida84 Says: In Australia "fast foods or take out food" is referred to as "take away". But the manner in which you would "take away" was quite an eye opener for us. Take away foods were wrapped, not bagged! I have never experienced "gift wrapping" of my meal!! We were so surprised by...
amandajayne81 Says: It always seems to be raining at the 'Sunshine' Coast. In its defence generally the storms are usually at night time. We had a recent trip to Australia Zoo and it rained nearly all day. We had a really good time regardless as the Zoo like many other Coast attractions cater...
amandajayne81 Says: Very hot in summer so bring cool clothes. Even in Winter jeans and a jumper are as tough as you need to go. We have walked in the ocean in June and July - probably not everyone's cup of tea at that time of the year though. Lots of suncream if you are outside and a big hat...
keida84 Says: Well, I am a admitted VT junkie. I had to have my internet fix, the WorldMark Golden Beach had internet access but it is pricey!! $2.00 AUD for the first 10 minutes. I had to type fast! I promised Hansi I would not go into the forums while on vacation and I am happy to...
stevemt Says: There is an abundance of sea sports available here, Surfing, boogey boarding, wind surfing, para boarding, you name it it's here, as well as the usual surf beach for swimmers.
keida84 Says: A trip to Mooloolaba is a must! The local bus service will take you from Golden Beach all the way to Mooloolaba.While you are there walk around. The wharf is great with local shops and restaurants,; try The Hog's Breath Cafe!Then walk off your meal by crusing the local...
