| Hi!! Has anyone been to the Sunshine Coast in South Queensland? We're hoping to go there for a week, enroute to New Zealand next year. We're looking at Caloundra. Somewhere not too frantic but with some life. Be grateful for any gen.Also, the distance to Caloundra from Brisbane airport, please ::roll: Gill

| Hi, we went to Caloundra last nov/dec, we had a fab time, we stayed at the Gemini Resort & it was lovely. The beaches are fab & caloundra is quite central, we also went to Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Noosa.
I do recommend a day to Australia zoo ( Steve urwin ) its about 15 mis away from Caulondra, its a cracking day out well worth it.
What ever you decide on The Sunshine Coast is lovely, ENJOY.

| hi gilly
The Sunshine Coast is my fave place on the East Coast. The above is all true, Noosa has a nice national park walk, but watch out for the nudey beach half way through the walk. Coolum is nice too. We camped atCoolum and Noosa, which is a great way to travel if you hit the right time of year. If you have time one of the best areas is Fraser Island just off Hervey Bay. There are no roads and you have to drive in 4wd vehicles on the beach. They have wild dingoes there and Lake Mackenzie in the middle of the island. O r you could get a cheap internal flight with virginblue.com and fly from Brisbane to Whitsunday Islands.
There are too many options and never enough days off in my opinion...i'll shut up now before i write an essay :)
Oh, if you need ideas on new Zealand I've done both islands and i'm going back for more in June... :D :D Loads to see and do there.

| Re cheap flights to NZ. If you are going via Australia you can by cheap flights between Oz and NZ on the web. Air New Zealand, Freedom Air (part of Air NZ), Qantas and Virgin Pacific all have fares around Aud$300 1 way.
