Guest Anne Jacobson Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hi Simon I know the Sunshine Coast well - I live here & own an accommodation & relocation business here (www.connectrel;ocate.com.au) Here is some information on Maroochydore ■ MAROOCHYDORE Maroochydore is at the very centre of the Sunshine Coast, with Caloundra to the south and Noosa to the north. Cotton Tree, an ocean-side suburb on the Maroochy River, is a popular holiday spot, well-serviced by holiday flats and a caravan park. The rivermouth, which leisure craft now ply, was once the site of a large timbermill from where the local lumber was shipped to Brisbane by paddle-steamer. There are river cruises, and great fishing opportunities in this aquatic paradise. The Maroochy Shire is graced by 25 kilometres of golden sands and inviting ocean that embraces such famous surf beaches as Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland, Coolum and Maroochydore. To balance the call of the sea, the shire boasts 3722 hectare of municipal reserves and 2000 hectare of national parkland. Located on the beautiful Maroochy River, Maroochydore is the well known bustling hub and CBD of the Sunshine Coast. A recent resurgence in the popularity of this town has earmarked it for some spectacular development with a mixture of sleek high rise urban dwellings and commercial spaces. Together with the dynamic shopping precinct of the Sunshine Plaza, Maroochydore boasts a large number of small businesses as well as larger corporations including banks and insurers. The beautiful and picturesque Maroochy river has long been a favourite of fishermen and for those who love to sail, canoe or go boating. Lined along the river are some quaint old “Queenslanders” as well as newer style of accommodation to cater for families and singles alike. Adjacent to Maroochydore and nestling the Maroochy River is the quaint suburb of cotton Tree. Once a well known camping and caravan spot Cotton Tree has recently undergone a transformation into a dynamic small village with trendy cafes and eateries as well as being a hub for the medical fraternity and private specialists rooms. Maroochydore beach is well known for its safe swimming and surfing and golden sands with a long stroll that can be taken down to Alex Headlands another popular beach side town. Walking paths link Maroochydore to Mooloolaba following the coastline. See map http://www.sunzine.net/suncoast/map.html for details Love to see you here Kind regards Anne Jacobson connectrelocate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
