Venture down on this Sunshine Coast trip for a three-day break!
One of the many great things about the Sunshine Coast is its proximity to Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane. It’s the weekend playground for city slickers, who can literally duck up the road, greeted by views of the Glass House Mountains, head north along the Bruce Highway and take the appropriately named Steve Irwin Way to Australia Zoo – home of the Crocodile Hunter.
You'll spend a day exploring the Sunshine Coast Hinterland with a local guide enjoying charming and elegant shops, cafes and award-winning restaurants with postcard-perfect views.Venture down on this Sunshine Coast trip for a three-day break!
