We are finally about to leave the Sunshine Coast for an indefinite road trip around Australia. This should be the real takeoff of the iPhoneography Oz project across the continent. We have often spoken of the rain that falls in this region at this time of year. Does it really rain on the Sunshine Coast? Are there storm on the Sunshine Coast? When its legendary sun does come out, the Sunshine Coast certainly lives up to its name. Just an hour's drive from Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast is a collection of beach resorts where life is good. Make sure you check the weather forecast first, then book your accommodation on the Sunshine Coast!

This is not the ocean. This is not a river. This is not a lake (despite its name). It is a bit of all three. But it is especially an excellent alternative to the beach if looking for a quieter place for the whole family (without sacrificing the beauty of the landscape). There are so many water bodies similar to this along the coast in Australia. Like many places, you just need to know where to go. Currimundi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park is adjacent to Currimundi Beach, between Caloundra and Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast.
