Any region in Australia that incorporates the word “coast” in its name, is a region you want to make a note of.
The Sunshine Coast, just two hours north of Brisbane, has 100km of coastal bliss – think swaying palm trees, turquoise waters, and powdery white sand so soft you’ll want to bag it up and take it home to use as a mattress.
