If lying on the beach, soaking up the sun is more your style, then the Mooloolaba beach is the perfect choice. The white sandy beaches and lots of water sports will keep people busy all day or all week. There is snorkeling, deep sea fishing, wind surfing or boogie boarding. For those who like their water activities a little calmer, there are hundreds of chairs for lounging by the shore to soak up the sun and maybe take a dip in the surf.
The Mooloolaba area is also where the famed Australia Zoo is located and the home of the late Croc Hunter and now his daughter, Bindi. The Australian Zoo is a great place to spend the day. They allow people to ‘play’ with many of the animals; they can get up close and personal with several breeds and species.
The Big Kart Track provided a great adrenalin rush with its hairpin turns, wild bends and navigating the chicanes through the small roadways for a fun afternoon.

One of the major iconic symbols of Queensland is the Big Pineapple, located on the Sunshine Coast. It has been amusing visitors for many years and the Plantations train will take people just about any where they want to go around the farm and through the pineapple growing fruit.
Another exciting thing to do is drive along the Blackall Range where tourists drive regularly and are able to view the Flaxton features which are examples of the several different early ‘Queenslanders’ and their solid timber houses with lots of character and spacious verandas. This area sits high atop a ridge so viewing is never a problem. The drive is nice and relaxing. This region is not too far from Twin Waters and would make a nice day trip for a group or family of travelers.
