Sunshine Coast Weather in March/April ?? .. What things to do there with a 3yr old ??

[smiles4u]

Thanks heaps gals

I have stayed Gold Coast a few times over the years (last time being about 13years ago BUT not interested to stay there again) ... and DP & i stayed further up the coast in Mooloolaba (before DD was here) about 4-5years ago

Then Australia Zoo was opened but not finished ... so yeh, reckon we will go back as DD would love it

I'm not familiar with WaterWorld is that something new ??

Can anyone suggest somewhere different to stay then Mooloolaba (even though we liked it there ... we would like somewhere new to experience that's just as lovely or even better ???

Any more ideas on what to do on the Sunshine Coast with a nearly 3year old ??? PLEASE KEEP 'EM COMING !!!!!!

So, far it's looking like we might be coming up in the 1st week in April (hopefully for 7nights)

Hey MEL, see how our plans go (if we have enough time) ... and if your *GOOD* i might just fit you in to catch up AND any other BB members that might be interested

Cheers for now, ... big hugs from Lorelle (who desperately needs a darn holiday) xox

P.S - I forgot to mention before been to Noosa ... nah, not a fan !!

Underwater World is an aquarium - I've haven't been there myself (I've lived here 9 years and keep meaning to go and check it out)

To stay - when I was a kid (too long ago) we stayed at Alexandra Headlands, Cotton Tree and Maroochydore and they were all good. I'd suggest not going to Coolum this year (even though I live here) 'cause they're about to knock a block of shops down and re-build.

Thanks for the tip Snowy

... Yeah, no plans to the Gold Coast for many years as been there done that i guess that's why we thought Sunshine Coast ... we would have LOVED to go to Cairns or somewhere much further Nth but the airfares that we are getting are so dirt cheap$$ and the flights only go as far up as Mackay with this fares special$$ !!

Meant to mention before have visited Noosa (looks like Toorak rd in Melb) ... have to admit 'we' weren't a fan

KEEP THE IDEAS COMING PEOPLE as we want lots to do

underwater world is a must but for me australia zoo sucked very disappointing

another place thats fun and very little $$$ wise is the ginger factory about 20min up the highway google ginger factory if ya like ginger then :lick: if not its still fun Jack enjoyed it he was 25mths

OMG RACH ... i totally forgot about the Ginger place ... i can't remember what is it that a 3year old can do there as when DP & i went a few years ago we were without child and in couple mode if you know what i mean

Pls do let me know as i truely can't remember what is there ... besides the lil old fashion shops (i think) ... and the yummy ginger beer (stangely i think i got some nice fudge there ??? ... Does that sound right to you ???)

Thanks Rach !!!!

theres the train ride and the boat ride (carnival ride) where you float on a little boat and look for the ginger bread man in different country themes we loved it and cause it was quiet time of year she let us go thru 2 times was $12 each for jase and I and jack was free, he loved the little train ride mainly for the noise than anything else...

The ginger factory is about 10 mins up the road from me in Yandina

... Well MEL if we *do* end up going to the Ginger plc ... then you better put on the kettle (or crack open a beer) and we '3' will be on ya door step ... Sound super
