Try Noosa for good accommodation, dining, shopping and beaches.

Day trips to Fraser Island are great value.

Australia Zoo with the crocodile man, although I think you have many in Malaysia.

Hope this helps

THank you for the reply. I got those information from Sunshine Coast Website.

The photos look really good too.

HaHa, yeah we do have many crocodiles here, but the Zoo here is in really bad condition. I also watch the Crocodile man on Discovery Channel, what is his name again?

Btw, Noosa looks expensive, should i op to stay at Mooloolaba instead? How far is Noosa and Mooloolaba?

Thank you very much.

mooloolaba to noosa is 34 mins drive. one end of the sunshine coast to the other. but both have things to recommend them.

tours will often pick up along the whole coast. if you plan to hire a car, then it really depends on what you are looking for in accommodation and restarants and night life etc.

Do you like BIG things. then see the big pineapple. do you like craft, then the hinterland has great handmade stuff.

fraser island is really worth a visit. an overnight stay if you can afford the time.

the ginger factory in buderim, may be something you wnat to see and taste. lol.

Steve Erwin, I went to his zoo a few years ago, I really enjoyed it, even got to hold
a koala Bear. Very cute and soft. I would recomend going for a day, that's for
sure, there's a caravan park about 8 klm north that I stayed in , cant remember the
name of hand.

Yes. Most caravan parks are also for tourists, which offer campsites with or without power. It also gives you access to water and the Bathrooms. Some also offer cabins or caravans for overnight stays.

There are a huge number of things to do on the Sunshine Coast:
Off the top of my head here is a starter list:

Mooloolaba:
Surf lessons and surfing
Kite surfing lessons
Underwater World
Walks around Point Cartwright,along Buddina beach,
The Bridge Fish and Chips and the huge fish and chip shop on the spit
Numerous good restaurants and bars

Day trips: Montville,Maleny, Australia Zoo, Sundays at Corbould Park races

Noosa:
shopping/dining/drinking on Hastings street
walks through the national park
hire a boat on the river in Noosaville
Surf lessons and Kite surfing


Just a few ideas there in case anyone else browsing needs inspiration.

Caravan parks usually charge between $10-$30 per overnight stay, depending whether the site is powered or not. But it's actually more recommended than just roughing it out.

Most of the caravan parks up North are well equipped to cater to the campervan and motorhome audience's needs.
