Question

    From whale watching to shopping, the activities are as varied as the scenery along Queensland’s Great Sunshine Way.

Day 1

Morning

The Sunshine Way begins in Queensland’s Gold Coast. Start the day with a visit to one of the Gold Coast’s world-class theme parks. Then see stunt (特技) shows at Warner Bros Movie World. You can also jump on exciting rides and visit the new Lego Store at Dreamworld.

Afternoon

While the drive to Brisbane only takes an hour, enjoy a trip inland into the Gold Coast hinterland and explore the rainforest hikes and waterfalls in Tamborine, Lamington and Springbrook national parks.

Day 2

Morning

Wake early to climb Brisbane’s famous Story Bridge, where you can see the sun rise over the city. From the top, you’ll be rewarded with full views over the snaking river, out to Moreton Bay in the east and the green hills of the Scenic Rim to the west.

Drive 144 kilometers north to Noosa. Hastings Street is thick with designer fashion stores and impressive restaurants. Explore one of the walking trails that run through Noosa National Park. The Coastal Track is a popular choice. Look out for dolphins and whales between May and November.
