Sunshine Coast
The Bruce Highway leads directly back to Brisbane, but a detour into Sunshine Coast hinterland is recommended. Here you will find Nambour (Home of the Pineapple) and the Blackall Ranges where the small mountain towns of Mapleton, Montville and Maleny are situated. There are dozens of arts and crafts shops, galleries and cafes. Another scenic drive takes you past the Glasshouse Mountains. Thirteen volcanic plugs that rise dramatically from their surrounding plains. There are some great walks in the national park, then, continue to the dairy centre of Caboolture before returning to Brisbane on the Bruce Highway.
The Sunshine Coast to Maryborough
If you enjoy surfing then stop at Alexandra Headland. To the north lie the towns of Coolum Beach, Peregian Beach and Sunshine Beach. Then it is on to Noosa Heads. This is the region’s most popular resort, with lovely beaches and excellent restaurants. Shoppers will have a wonderful time exploring boutiques and art galleries along Hastings Street. After the Sunshine Coast we suggest heading to the townships of Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach. From here you can reach Fraser Island and Cooloola National Park. Our journey ends at Maryborough. Nestled in the Mary River, Maryborough is one of the oldest cities in Queensland. It is a charming city that echoes the bygone days of Queensland. Originally as a wool port in 1847, Maryborough is now Queensland's heritage treasure and a gateway to experience the aquatic delights of Hervey Bay, including whale watching between August and October.
