Apparently the Sunshine Coast is one of the sunniest regions in the world. Lonely Planet speaks about more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Well, obviously we landed here in the remaining 65. In fact it seems that Queensland has recorded heavy rainfall in January and February over the last few years which caused recent floods. For your safety, you may want to have a look at general flood information delivered by the Bureau of Meteorology. No matter what, be prepared for floods and check for road closures. The monsoon belt on the other hand is much further to the north between Cairns and Darwin. Moral: heading south in the coming weeks to run away from the Sunshine Coast weather!
What do you think? How was the weather during your stay on the Sunshine Coast? Have you ever been caught in a flood during your holidays in Australia? Let us know in the comments below!
