Sunshine Coast, Queensland: places to visit

---

This post has been adapted from one I wrote at my main blog, In the Hot Spot, during the Easter Holidays I had family visiting from England, giving me a grand total of four adults and six kids, aged from two to ten, to entertain. And that includes me. Phew!

A thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all but I had to take a week off after the rellies left and my kids went back to school to recover from all the excitement and readjust back into my old friendless and beerless existence.

So, here's a quick run down of kid friendly stuff to do during a two week holiday on the Sunshine Coast or in the Noosa area. This is the list of things I thought we should do that I emailed my brother, to which he added drinking beer and having a barbecue. Good on him - an Australian holiday would not be complete without beer and barbies.

Anyway, here's my list and a picture from our trip of Australia Zoo. Can you guess what I'll be writing about next time?

Things to do with kids on the Sunshine Coast

Climb Mount Tinbeerwah
Surf and/or boogey board
Walk Noosa National Park
Go on a koala hunt
Have a kangaroo hunt
Eat fish and chips at Gympie Terrace

The last one was only a joke!
