Noosa & the Sunshine Coast
Why Go?
It's not called the Sunshine Coast for nothing: the 100 golden kilometres stretching from
the tip of Bribie Island to the Cooloola Coast are aglow with glimmering coastlines, hot
surf spots and a warm populace for whom smiles are de rigueur…and shoes démodé. Styl-
ish Noosa boasts a sophisticated dining and resort scene, while Mooloolaba, with its popu-
lar beach, outdoor eateries and cafes, is a long-time favourite with holidaying Australian
families.
The ethereal Glass House Mountains loom over the seascape, while further north, the
Blackall Range offers a change of scenery with thick forests, lush pastures and quaint vil-
lages. The Sunshine Coast is also home to one of the world's great wildlife sanctuaries, the
iconic Australia Zoo.
