If you’re planning a romantic getaway in Queensland that doesn’t involve islands, scorching temperatures, and sand following you back to your cosy cabin, then you might want to consider the Sunshine Coast.

It’s not often Caz and I get away alone and reconnect as a couple, so when we go for a romantic getaway, we like to make the most of it and pack lots of romantic activities into our days.

I recommend the Mt Ngungun walk. It’s an easy 2.8 km return walk up to the peak and you’re rewarded with spectacular 360-degree views of all four major peaks of the Glass House Mountains.
