We farewell friends in Buddina on the Sunshine Coast after much reminiscing of our African days and launched into our camping expedition! We were Cooloola coast bound! We crossed the car ferry late that afternoon and set up in a campsite where the road finished and the beach began. Kangaroos and monitor lizards cruised through camp upon dusk while we cooked dinner much to the kids delight. Next morning we entered exploration mode, letting all our tyres down as we drove through a cutting to enter Teewah Beach. We enjoyed a cruise up the coast before we discovered a problem with engaging our low ratio in the cruiser and not wanting to risk becoming a statistic in the tide, headed back to civilisation. Whilst awaiting a VERY expensive part we stayed at a new campground which is a Big4 in Maroochydore called Rivershore Resort. Although we were not in the bush roughing it like we’d hoped it was nevertheless very enjoyable! It was Built in 2016 and run by two young brothers. It was fantastic! Kiddie heaven with water slides, pools, jumping pillows, evening outdoor movie every night, and fishing for bream on the riverside. Did I mention the bar and restaurant overlooks both the pool and the playground? So one can literally be drinking a wine or downing a cold beer whilst kids are entertaining themselves but still able to be supervised. Need I say more? We also enjoyed Maroochydores surf beach, which was just beautiful. It’s a really beautiful and laid back part of the world. No sense of bustle here even Though it’s at the heart of everything in the Sunshine Coast.
