DH commuted from the Sunny Coast to Bris for 10 years. He drove as he worked on the Southside and public transport wouldn't get him where he needed to go. He was lucky that his work hours could be flexible a lot of the time, so he'd leave home around 5:30am. About 1.25 hrs. Journey home could be up to 3 hrs, but he'd usually leave work around 3pm and be home just after 5pm. Not something I'd recommend doing though, especially if you're doing it in peak hour.

All food for thought here.... Arimeh, how long did you find it took you to get to the beach from Nambour? (and which beach?). We're considering acreage behind Nambour, but DH loves the quieter beaches such as Peregian Beach. Any idea how long that would take to get to from Nambour & surrounds?

About 20 minutes drive to maroochydore. Or coolum.

Well that's encouraging! How much longer would it take from the acreage areas behind Nambour (Hunchy, Dulong, Kureelpa)?
Which beach did you prefer? Are you under the shadow of high-rises at Maroochydore? We are on any of the GC beaches pretty much....

Dh's sister used to live in kureelpa and it was under 10 minutes to get to her place from ours - we lived in nambour heights so wasn't in the centre of town or anything though.
As for beaches - I'm not really an expert, I lived in caloundra for 8 years so my preference would always be for that area, but coolum is lovely, most of my workmates lived there when I worked up that way. Dh worked in maroochydore and I know his boss lived around that area and was a big surfer dude. I had one girl I worked with who lived at mooloolaba and she was really into beach stuff and she loved where she lived.
Really any beach is beautiful on the sunshine coast - its a beautiful spot in the world to live, just a bit built up now for me and dh.
