Sunshine Coast AndFraser Island Overview

The Sunshine Coast is a slightly warmer, less crowded, more relaxed alternative to the Gold Coast. Here, the sun shines 300 days a year, quiet beaches and national parks stretch into the distance, and resort towns like Noosa rise abruptly from the sand. Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world, is a beach-and-rainforest playground crisscrossed by 4WD tracks. Its legendary dunes and freshwater lakes make it a mecca for adventurous backpackers.
