 Sunshine
Coast things to do
The Sunshine
Coast was named as such
by the Nambour Chamber of Commerce in 1960 arguing that the
name better represented the area than the usual 'Near North
Coast' tag that was applied to the area and came six years
after the 'South Coast' was named 'Gold Coast'. Both names
were intended to assist marketing of tourism and real estate.
The Sunshine Coast was defined as stretching from Bribie Island
to Noosa.
The discovery
of gold at Gympie in 1867 led to a road and railway around
1888 from Brisbane, running via Nambour. Like several inland
cities, Gympie's more prosperous citizens needed a coastal
resort for relief from summer heat and they chose Tewantin
and Noosa for such mid summer relief.
Maroochydore was not so well patronised at the turn of the
nineteenth century. The Salvation Army ran holiday camps at
Cotton Tree from 1888, but the trip from Nambour was complicated
by soft sand and boggy ground. Maroochydore's tourism began
in the 1920s.
Just some of
the terrific places to come and stay and have fun:
During the winter months the temperature along
the coast can average around 20°C (68°F). Whereas
in the summer months the temperatures can average around 28°C
(82°F).
