chloe98 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 just wondered how you spend your weekends on the sunshine coast? is it generally the beach? what about when its cooler or wetwe are currently in Victoria and with the cold wet winter weather its really not much different from uk- ie sitting in house,watching tv, playing xbox etc hoping to move to sunny coast soon and also hoping it might be a bit closer to the outdoorsy life I imagine(have 5 kids- ages 3- 14).would love to hear how you all spend your freetime-(ideally without spending too much money).

jonmitch Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Where to start? Beautiful beaches. Watching whales and dolphins from Noosa national park. Learn to surf/swim/dive. Kayaking the everglades. Carlos sandblow and the magnificence of the sandy national park. Eumundi market for all the hippy sh1t. Bush walks in the Glasshouse mountains. Day trip to Fraser Island to swim at Mackenzie and watch the dingoes. Day trip to Moreton Island to snorkel the Tangalooma wrecks. Big city an hour and a half away by train of car for international sports, big name concerts etc. Underwater world, Australia zoo and a very big pineapple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I probably wouldn't do the water sports this time of year - a bit too chilly in the water for me. Also with the sea breeze 20C doesn't feel that warm. We are in Brisbane and do quite a lot of outdoor stuff (in between all the jobs/shopping etc!) - wildlife parks, normal parks if we get around to it we will take our bikes out later. We have been to feed the turtles that live nearby, lots of festivals around. Does rain up here too though - first 4 days of the school holidays last week solidly!

chloe98 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 sounds fantastic jonmitch.we are hoping to go to somewhere near maroochydore/ sippy downs Andy. and yes I am aware that skin is waterproof but dragging 5 kids out in the pissing rain when its 6 degrees to trail thru mud,rain and wind isn't that much fun. .we don't have the money to take them to indoor places-cinema,bowling etc.at least queensland rain should be a wee bit warmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt95045AAAA Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi My youngest goes longboarding. Spends hours in the gym. Rock climbs at Glasshouse all the spare time he can, weather permitting. Summer will be beach - boogie boarding I'm sure, lol. Spends hardly anytime on xbox etc... Life is what you choose to make it, get out there and have FUN!!

roger2shirts Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 In the summer there is Nippers - Surf Life saving (simply fantastic), sailing, the beach, just about any sport you can imagine! Winter, and it does get very cold, again lots of team sports for the kids and plenty of parks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
