Steve Irwin’s family were definitely onto something when they started their enterprise in 1970. In those days it was known as Beerwah Reptile Park, and its incredible growth in popularity closely mirrors that of the Sunshine Coast itself. Of course, you don’t have to be into reptiles to have a great holiday in this region. Learn to surf at Mooloolaba or Noosa Heads, walk the coastline for miles through a National Park and then enjoy fish and chips or a gourmet burger as the sun goes down. The laidback, outdoor lifestyle is one you’ll adjust to very quickly! Choose from hundreds of kilometres of fabulous beaches from Caloundra in the south to Cooloola in the north (which also serves as gateway to fascinating Fraser Island). When you tire of beaches, cooking schools and day spas will compete for your attention, along with championship golf courses and of course, that world-famous zoo.

Noosa: This is champagne territory and leafy Hasting Street is theplace to be seen indulging in it. Packed with designer stores, sidewalk cafes and al fresco dining, this is where you will find the glitz and glamour of the Sunshine Coast. Dine along the waterfront, stroll along the boardwalk to Noosa National Park or lounge away the day on the sands of Main beach. Noosaville: A short ferry ride or 20 minutes walk from Noosa sits the charming river-side village of Noosaville, a picturesque spot with an abundance of waterways, parklands and picnic spots. Watch rowers glide past over breakfast at a riverside cafe - we like Vanilla café, then at night be spoilt for choice from simple bakeries to award-winning cuisine along Gympie Terrace and Thomas Street. Mooloolaba: A great mix of beaches for swimming and surfing, al fresco dining and a colourful nightlife - Mooloolaba is a hot spot with everything within walking distance.
