Sept 10, 2025 Sunshine Coast
From Deception Bay we moved up through Sunshine Coast and further north to a small village a little inland. Sunshine Coast is an area north of Brisbane, on the coast of course, that has become a tourist mecca. We stopped at a few sites to see the beaches that were very busy considering it was Wednesday and the spring school holidays don’t start until the end of September!
One of the less busy beaches, away from the tourist waterfront of Sunshine Beach and Noosa Heads, in the Noosa National Park.
Up and over the headlands to a more secluded, but still frequented beach!
A short loop trail through the tiny remnant of rainforest left in the area took us past strangler fig trees slowly encircling their host trees, and another ‘bottlebutt tree’ with a thickened trunk base giving it extra support in poor soil.
