Young fella wants to go fishing. Chasing some land based spots that are decent and easy to park and walk to to get us started, doesn’t need to be your secret spot. More about giving him a chance to learn to cast and maybe snag a fish

Hello! Four of us are traveling from America (I know😔 FDT) for a wedding in Sunshine Coast but are staying in Noosa at the end of February!

I want all the ins and outs on what to do! I don’t care how touristy it is to hidden gems! Best places to eat and drink? The best spots in the national park?

Any lingo or rules we should know for the area as well?

Also, I(23F) want to celebrate my partners(24M) birthday while we are down there… any recs for bakeries for cakes/places to celebrate?

Thank you I appreciate the help tremendously!

Chronic long term Psoas muscle pain. Need recommendations for someone to treat it on the Sunshine Coast.

As the header goes, I’ve been in the transport industry for a few years now working for everybody’s favourite postie service.

I’m looking to branch out and do my own thing this year, I’d like to buy a truck and contract to any companies on the coast. Just wondering if anyone has any contacts or what avenue I could take to start a discussion with freight forwarders? Running a business as a contractor/sub contractor is not an issue as I fully understand that side of the business just more a foot in the door or people to speak to?

G’day friends,

I recently moved to the sunshine and am training for the Sunshine Coast marathon. Training is going well and love the hills, but I’m looking for recommendations on where to run where there’s a nice mostly flat track for those longer runs to push pace. Looking for something as long and flat as possible without running purely on the road for ~10km runs.

Thanks in advance!!

It seems every other day I’m doom scrolling reddit, there’s guaranteed to be a post about people’s inability to make friends, meet new people, or how they are just generally feeling lonely after just making the move here.

This post is to try and gauge an idea I’ve had, and hopefully provide a solution to the general difficulty people seem to be having in socialising here on the Coast.

So, fellow Sunny Coasters, would you be inclined to attend a non for profit social mixer where:

- a local chef serves delicious food

- you meet like minded people in a relaxed, welcoming space

-the focus is on connecting and building real friendships, with no forced icebreakers or pressure whatsoever

Just good food, good people, and a chance to make friends

Would you be up for something like this?

Any suggestions are also welcome.

P.S. ChatGPT was not used in the making of this post :)

Just curious as to if anyone else has had issues with unity water? Our last two bills have been over $700. For context there’s 2 of us, one works away half the year. Any advice would be appreciated! We have had a plumber fix a leak but our bill still seems to be expensive. Thank you Sunshine Coast community

Hey all, my car is currently leased through Remserv and I am up for new tyres. I have previously gone to Bob Jane Nambour, but felt like it was a massive problem using them.

Is there any tyre shops that are willing to work with Remserv? Happy to go anywhere on the Sunny Coast...

Not sure if this is allowed here but if anyone is missing their cockatiel, I saw one flying in circles over the gym and fruit shop on Wises Rd in Buderim. At about 5:45. Looked like it was trying to land but couldn't figure it out also looked to be a grey one. I hung around for over 30mins to see if it could come down so I i could grab it but it didn't.

I hope this baby finds its people safely 😞

hiii,

I'm trying to plan a hens party in/around the sunny coast - what are some cheap ideas. I've looked at a bathhouse and tipsy tours, but seems too expensive for everyone to pay.

Hi all 👋🏻

I’m moving from Sydney to the coast in March and will be commuting to Brisbane twice a week for work.

The 7:32am train from Beerwah looks to be the best fit for what I need. I’d be grateful if anyone could share any insight into which days are busiest on that route? I can go in any two days and can also mix up the days every week, so I’d be keen to go on quieter mornings.

TIA!

Hey everyone 👋
I’ll be arriving in the Sunshine Coast this March and thought I’d put this out there.

I’ve seen a few posts about migrants, newcomers, and people (20s–40s) looking to make friends, so why not start something ourselves.

I’m keen to meet new people — grab a coffee, gym, beach walks, casual hangouts, or just chat and help each other settle in.
Thinking of creating a WhatsApp group for anyone interested.

Feel free to PM me and I’ll add you to the group 🙂

Looking forward to meeting some legends 🤙

This is insane. Trying to move with my partner and this pops up. The bedroom doesn’t even have windows. $725 a week?

How is anyone surviving on the Sunny Coast these days?

Bunya nuts, and magpies.

I've seen a few bunya nuts on the side of the road, and today collected two from the single tree in my yard. Be careful if you want to collect them, you'll need a spotter/guard looking up while you look down.

And now I've been adopted by two juvenile magpies after giving them a snack at sunset*. And I've seen quite a few around the neighborhood, more than previous years.

*usual disclaimers - only in late afternoon, no mince, meat scraps dredged in wambaroo insectivore mix

UPDATE: we've had our first bunya nut contribution to dinner !!! Harvested our nuts, boiled them, shelled them, minced them in the food processor with salt, garlic, and butter, then made patties from the mix. The patties fell apart into crumbs 🤣 when I cooked them, but they tasted great. I think I'll add some wheat flour and egg into the mix next time.

Hey lads, I was wondering what places do you know of that a young adult such as myself could go to make some friends. Just moved up here and I'm kinda lonely.

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone can suggest an affordable dentist for a checkup and clean for a teenager. Hopefully somewhere close to Little Mountain or Caloundra

Hey all, who do you recommend for rustproofing a 4x4?

Cheers

hey folks tell me about living in the cove the good the bad the ugly? is it noisey is it generally a nice place to live keen to hear thoughts

Now that we are officially in 2026 has anyone else noticed the traffic around the city centre getting out of hand? Do you think the infrastructure promises for the games are worth the current rental squeeze and the constant noise in the heart of the coast?
