Missing things to do and attractions. 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 27, 2024) You are forgetting the climbing gym (strait up climbing), and the movie theater, live music nights at batch 44. Pool and fitness centres also.

Because so many people are moving to the Sunshine Coast, getting on/off the Coast is a real challenge with its single ferry. As the council were so preoccupied with back-handers, they've let the infrastructure slip, so that simple things like access to clean drinking water is a legitimate and growing issue. Such a pity, as it truly was one of the most wonderful places to live. Read Less
