Thetraveljunkie.org – In today’s photos we spent some time in one of our favourite areas, Sunshine Coast, as the sun went down. Our first stop in the area was at Fairhill Native Botanic Garden, an amazing space where you can get your hands on some really cool native plants. We then drove to Terella Brewing, the sustainable farm-style brewery you need to know about, one of our favourite breweries nearby. Pete the Greek and Mango beer are one of the best collaboration.

Thetraveljunkie.org – One of the things we like the most about subtropical zones such as Sunshine Coast is being able to enjoy them from a different perspective. This may have something to do with rainbows. We were driving around the Coolum Beach when we came across Yandina Creek. We found an amazing rainbow where you can enjoy the universe. The great thing about it is that it’s free and it’s less busy than big cities, despite the fact that the view from there is honestly incredible and doesn’t compare to anything we’ve seen to date.

After a 15 minute drive (from Yandina Creek) we arrived at Coolum State School where we were met with the Coolum Beach sign to begin our adventure in one of the coastal suburb’s most charming areas. E-scootering from Woolies Coolum to Stumers Creek Riparian Reserve to Stumers Creek Bushland Conservation Reserve to Coolum Surf Club and Wilkinson Park in the morning is super fun, there are lots of shops, surfers, skaters and many photos to take.

Thetraveljunkie.org – The Mooloolaba Spit is located at the southern end of Mooloolaba Beach on the Sunshine Coast. The beach changes accordingly, with a shallow rips during and following higher seas, while at other times it is continuous with no rips. This bar narrows and finally disappears toward the harbour wall, where usually low waves surge up the beach. There is a walkway that links Mooloolaba Main and Mooloolaba Spit beaches. Our kind of Sunday roast at the Mooloolaba Spit looks like fresh seafood of the day and chips, with a picnic blanket table watching the sun go down over the water. Don’t worry, there’s always going to be a seat for you around the table!
