The Sunshine Coast is on land traditionally owned by the Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi and Jinibara peoples. It runs from the Glass House mountains in the south, and north to Noosa – about a 50-minute drive on the Bruce Highway.
It’s known as a family friendly holiday destination where you can rent a nice apartment right on the beach. But I think there’s more variety and natural beauty in the hinterlands. I’m based in the idyllic town of Mapleton, a 30-minute drive inland. It’s lush rainforest country with lots of waterfalls.
