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.
