The state-heritage listed Bankfoot House in the Glass House Mountains, once a Cobb & Co lunch stop on the journey to the Gympie goldfields, is set to relaunch itself as the pre-eminent heritage precinct on the Sunshine Coast.

The Sunshine Coast with its beautiful scenery, waterways and beaches has been a favourite holiday destination for many years.

The Sunshine Coast is looking forward to the Australian over 70s National Cricket Championships being held here from September 12 – 18.

The first Sunday of September is celebrated as Father’s Day in Australia. It is a day to say thanks and show appreciation for fathers and father figures who inspire and support a child with guidance and kindness.

Visitors to the Sunshine Coast have collected many souvenirs over the years to remind them of their holiday.

Spring is just around the corner, and so is the Horizon Festival here on the Sunshine Coast from August 24 to September 2.

Visit Bankfoot House on Sunday, August 26 as we continue to celebrate the 150th anniversary of this historic, state heritage-listed property - the oldest surviving building in the Glass House Mountains.

Today we continue to follow the history of Yandina in the lead-up to its 150-year celebration being held on August 19.

Planes, trains, lighthouses, museums and more are waiting to be discovered during the Heritage Discovery Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, August 25-26.
