Someone needs to get this guy a flight to Australia!
I had the same thought
If every subscriber donates a dollar, then that's the whole trip paid for.
And then you’ll all be bitching about “foreign immigration” again.
I’m in Brisbane, people tend to go to the Gold Coast when they are in young and in party mode, and to the Sunshine Coast when they’re raising the consequences and want a family friendly holiday imo, they are just different
Consequences 😂
@@bevmc5061
Made me laugh too.😂
@@bevmc5061 yeah we all know that’s not something you’ve been doing - dealing with consequences of your own actions! The fact that you laughed at the word is pretty good indication you wouldn’t know the meaning of the word!
@@1ihws tell me more about myself……. It seems you can judge people for having a laugh. I would love to hear more.
@@bevmc5061 lol, oh I’m sure you don’t want me telling the truth of things in Queensland, lol. That’d be rather too close to few “old bones” for some people’s liking - especially a few folks on the Sunshine Coast, or the Gold Coast! That might put all together far too many “interesting characters” up shite creek in a barbed wire canoe with a tennis raquet for a paddle! You never know who’s up who or who, or in fact, who might be! They don’t refer to “island hopping” because they’re talking about grasshoppers dear!
It's Oz, man. Everywhere is fu@king awesome. Even the shit places are great.
🤣pretty accurate
Dandenong is my personal favourite
😂😂👍🏻
TRUE

Hey, my husband and I live in Mapleton in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We live in the rainforest about 25mins to stunning beaches. If you're ever able to holiday here, you're welcome to stay at our home. We've been watching your videos for a while now and absolutely love that you really want to experience our country.
We used to live in Warana and used to love having a day out in maplton and having lunch at the old pub on the verandah. Beautiful
Love Mapleton. I used to live in Maleny. The whole Sunshine Hinterland is just beautiful.
thank you very much!!
Don’t fall off ObiObi Road - it hasn’t gotten any better in forty years!
@ryanreaction you are never I chat, never reply, talk over the videos, NO AUSSIE SAYS HAPPY ARVO... You have zero idea of how to produce a video, let alone connect with your audience. Sad. STOP trying to talk like an Aussie
Much nicer than the Gold Coast. Quieter less commercial.
I've been all up the coast Sydney to Brisbane, with stops, my favourite place was Ballina! Gold Coast is great for taking holiday photos, but not for trying to get around, shopping or food! 😏
That has to be the funniest thing I’ve read all day!
We dont vacstion. We holiday.
Coolum Beach local here. It was affordable before COVID, but during COVID half of Sydney and Melbourne moved up, making it very expensive.
Still, the Sunny Coast is paradise.
I wish they would all go back!!!
Not far from my home. Much nicer than the Gold Coast 🇦🇺
I’m Morayfield, they call it Gods Country
I live in Noosa Hinterland but grew up in Brisbane so spent time visiting both and far prefer the Sunshine Coast. The Gold Coast was great in the 60’s and early 70’s but after the tourist found the Gold Coast it lost its appeal to me. Twin Waters🤣 you picked an expensive area! Check out the realestate in Pomona, 4568
It's good for old people but Gold Coast is better for us with families.
@@lynmar77yeah but that’s in the hinterland, so most people think, “that’s not coastal”. Gold Coast has always been the ‘mecca’ for twits and twats from the sputhern states who don’t know Qld, or the northern new south wales, because if they need to leave the state for some reason, it’s big enough to “hide”… and ‘traditionally’ the sunshine coast has always been seen as its poor “second cousin”….except that there’s so many so much nicer little hidden away spots on the sunshine coast & hinterland most people don’t even know of. I love the hills area out to the west of Maleny, but you can’t see the beach, so most people give it a miss.
Same. 40min drive. A lot better than the Goldie…
Fishing from the beach is called surf fishing, and is very popular. It's safer than rock fishing, The legs indicate a pedestrian crossing. Sunshine Coast is definitely better. Gold Coast is busy, busy, busy, loud and showy.
it's mainly called beach fishing down here. used to do it with a sinker a line and a bottle for a reel...
It's called beach fishing.
@@AUmarcus surf fishing, depending if its a surf beach.
@@JOHNSMITH-if9jr
Nah, it's beach fishing regardless.
@@AUmarcus i've never heard it call beach fishing then again im from victoria and we go surf fishing, LOL. not a calm water beach front .
Sunny Coast local here! Have been here my whole life and adore it. As some people in the comment section have already stated, if you ever plan on visiting, we would be happy to accommodate you and show you around. Truly an unbeatable location :)
I lived on the Sunny Coast Friday afternoon I'd pick up the kids and we swim at Bullock Beach (safe for kids) Then we'd buy fish and chips while we watched the cane burn in the distance. Chips on white bread, heaps of butter and sauce running down your fingers, on a perfect day at a perfect beach. Best life. Grown kids still rate those Fridays best days of their lives. At beautiful Sunny Coast. 🌞 😊😊
He’s American. They have shitloads of beautiful coast, snow covered mountains , unbelievable national parks. The USA has everything but bigger. Wish I lived there.
Love the Sunshine Coast. We live in Melbourne but had our yearly vacation with our boys for at least 12 consecutive years in Noosa Heads. Great food, shopping and family friendly with a safe beach. The only issue was that we always bumped into acquaintances from Melbourne!
Well that's a surprise
This is so true. My husband's family had a house on Hastings Street for nearly a century and Noosa in the winter is basically Toorak and Kooyong.
I live in Caloundra and my husband snowboards in Niskeo every year and meets people from Caloundra regularly.
@@hayekfriedman9078that is because no Queenslander would stay in Noosa is really for W………
That’d be because so many ‘clever’ people ‘immigrate’ to Qld - usually to be sold a crock of shite by some smarmy real estate agent offering sell them a piece of “bumfuck nowhere” in the middle of nowhere, that they proclaim as “god’s country”, even if it more closely resembles somewhere in the Sahara, minus all the hot subaru’s attempting to look like they’re doing the Dakar!
What it didn't cover was from Noosa North to Fraiser Island. Check out Rainbow beach, Chris Hemsworth had a house there, and he and Matt Damon used to hang out there until the paparatzi blitzed them. 300m high coloured sand dunes and a 32mile long beach. At the Northern end of the beach you can catch a barge across to Fraiser.
Fraser or K’gari.
Umm no he’s at Byron Bay has been for years. Not saying he hasn’t gone to Noosa. He’s home has always been in Bryon Bay…
You do so live to talk crap, don’t you! If you check out Rainbow Beach, don’t try driving around the point from the Noosa end of the beach. You’ll only firm up the betting odds at the local pub, on “who is the biggest idiot from the southern states”! I may not have been there for a while, but somethings stay the same!
@@DeepThought9999 Fraser. And don’t let any fool talk you into trying to take your pissy little 14foot playtoy of a boat from inskip point to Fraser Island - it never ends well.
@@1ihws I am in awe of your extensive knowledge of every single place, and activity, between Victoria and North QLD… not so much in awe of your need to stick that knowledgeable nose of yours in half the comments here… and more so using it to attempt to make others look stupid!!
I live in the hinterland behind the Sunshine Coast, about 450m above sea level, about 4 degrees cooler than the coast, with Australia Zoo at the bottom of the range. Its lovely up here, and only an hour from Brisbane by train or car. Much nicer than the Gold Coast.
My husband loved beach fishing,he said he always felt at peace. The sign with two legs lets you know it is a pedestrian crossing.
🏖️Ryan suffering from „Fernweh“ now, a German word meaning far-sickness or far-woe, describing the longing to go to a distant place.
Me too.
It‘s beautiful!❤️
I like these German words that describe a feeling, or a complex series of emotions derived from a particular experience. Oddly enough, I as a homebody am experiencing this Fernweh, I need a van.
@@coolhandluke1503
Oh, do you know „Schadenfreude“ (damage happiness) - the happiness or satisfaction you feel, when something bad happens to your enemies?
Or „Zweisamkeit“ (two-loneliness) - being alone with the one you love?
@@MaryRaine929 that’s certainly an “interesting” interpretation of the word schadenfreude…akin to someone telling you that Brisbane to Cairns is a twelve hour drive!
@@MaryRaine929 Have not heard any of these terms before (obviously I am not German, but am as Aussie as an Aussie can get)… I find them very interesting… Schadenfreude… maybe translated to ‘karma’! 😂😂 ♥️♥️🇦🇺
We live on Bribie Island just south of the Sunshine Coast. We have the Sunshine Coast 45 minutes way away, Brisbane 45 minutes away & the hinterland 45 minutes away.
Bribie Island is just beautiful so we have it all.
😂😂😂😂
You forgot to mention the sand flies, the midges, the exorbitant prices for houses or land, and the gnarly traffic on the Bruce highway to go anywhere other than Bribie Island - yep, you sure do “got it all”!
@1ihws You are a glass-half-empty type of person aren't you?
Just so you can educate yourself some more sandflies and midges are the same
My niece grew up in Noosa and moved to Cheyenne Wyoming. Total madness.
That sign is a Pedestrian Crossing sign, there will also be white strips on the road which is known as a Zebra Crossing
They should have made the legs a zebra's legs 😂
And the say Zebra, as in Zed sounds like Zed, so it also sounds like Zed in Zebra crossing, not Zeebra crossing. Something we share with Canadians... The Zed divide ha?
This is basically where I live just out a bit, around the glasshouse mts. It's beautiful 🙂 I'm about 5 KMs away from the big one called Beerwah 👍
I love the names - Beerwah, Tibrogargan, Burpengary!
I live in Coolum Beach in the Sunshine Coast, overlooking the ocean... It's terrible! I walk on the beach and.. who am i kidding it freaking awesome. Ryan, come stay with us!!
G'day neighbour, I too live at Coolum Beach on the hill.
@jewels1318 What the?? Wow, small world. I'm on the hill too.
Coming upon my 21st year of living on the Sunshine Coast. It is by far the nicest place I could think of to live. Beautiful beaches and national parks, the hinterland is amazing, excellent weather most of the time although it does rain quite a lot. The worst thing about it is the traffic and number of people around, particularly on weekends. This video doesn't show it but it gets insanely busy.
On the flip side, you couldn't pay me enough to live on the Gold Coast.
Sunny Coast all the way!
Wonder where you skimmed your “data” from! Dubai??
Huh....
@@1ihws I hope you are coping. Sounds like you need a friend?
@@deannatroy8113 i’m not dead yet - does that sound like me coping or just being so incredibly pigheaded after six decades of abuse that I refuse to give in and be crippled by the bastards who inflicted themselves on me as a child, and spurred on by the need to find out if my own children are still alive and well, or dead in a ditch somewhere.
Born in Brisbane but grew up & went to high school in Nambour (don't judge me! lol) before heading away to uni for a couple of years. Came back and lived in Curimundi & Caloundra areas then moved to China for a decade! Brisbane northside now but try & get back up to the Coast whenever I can, I miss it so much! Grandparents live up in Montville, it's always a nice drive up the back way through Landsborough, or up the highway & via Palmwoods. In the words of my grandfather, it's Godzone (God's own country).
My cousins live along the Sunshine Coast and from what I could see when I was visiting last year there’s still a lot of affordable housing. It’s a lovely stretch of Australian coastline with the weather to go with it.
I live here, it's not affordable 😂😢
@@jpdprophotography6693 compared to Sydney it is. Just stop looking at Noosa pop limits have always made that place expensive
@@jacobpipers unfortunately the continued exodus from other states except W.A. prices are fast catching up. The whole country isn't in a great position as far as affordable housing is concerned.
It was affordable (except for ‘round Noosa) until pretty recently. Covid and working from home brought city prices to coast and country. Sadly.
If you look about 15 to 20 minutes drive away from the beaches you can find homes for sale from approximately $800,000 to $1.3M AUD which is not bad in today's market for that beautiful region.
Some secrets should not be shared 🤫
Considering that I paid $52,000 for an acre and a half in 1992 - that’s frigging horrific!
@@1ihws Actually that sounds about right, given the general rule of thumb that prices double every 7-10 years. Absolutely crazy.
@@MikeInAble i was more thinking of my own rather specific personally horrific “cost” of having barely survived a marriage breakdown, and the lack of an appropriately property settlement actually but don’t mind me, no one else does.
Don't worry about the water being shallow. Surf fishing is about finding the 'Rip' and utilising it to get out the back where monsters hang out!🌅🐟🐠🦈🎣
My father and brother were each boaties but my grandad loved surf fishing. When I was small I can remember him with his cane creel on his hip and a sugar bag full of tailor and whiting
Beach fishing and Rock Fishing is popular in Australia. Although Rock fishing every year claims people's lives as rogue waves wash them off the rocks and drown as they don't wear a life jacket.
Gotta watch out for the Raves, that beat hits hard.
@@overlordnews4075 I'm thinking what's he on about. 🧐😂 Typo fixed. 😎
Ryan, the Sunshine Coast, or Currimundi Lake on the Sunshine Coast to be exact has even appeared in a Bluey episode (Stickbird in Series 3). It is a beautiful place
Used to live there. Got stung by like 20 bluebottles one day surfing at Mooloolaba. I was in pain but the surf was so good I couldn’t get out of the water
That’s a bloody long way south to find blue bottles! Far more likely to find bullsharks in the canals, wannabe’s feigning smarts, and/or tourist accomodation units where you get zapped turning on a lightswitch - and greedy property developers!
Yes, this area and the area around Margaret River WA are the local Aussies' playgrounds. My daughter and her husband and six boys live in a town near Glass House Mountains, so the ankle-biters were avid grommets from an early age. A short drive to a nearby railway station and they can be in Brisbane in 90 minutes, so a three-days a week commute allows for a great leisure and labour balance.
Ryan you seriously need to come to Australia. Your eyes tell the story 😍
As a resident of Brisbane, I enjoy the choice of what both coasts have to offer. I am slightly closer to the Goldie and own an apartment on the beach that I place on Airbnb. It becomes a great holiday place for me when it’s available and unrented. But for a different vibe and lifestyle I enjoy visiting the Sunny Coast. In my opinion one is not necessarily better than the other. They offer different experiences which makes living in Brisbane awesome. Usually people that put down the Gold Coast are referring to one touristy suburb called Surfers Paradise, but there is so much more to the city than that one particular area.
And they only visit when the place is full of other Brisbaneites who use that part of the GC like a public toilet
"wow look at that tree"
The stunning views were behind it Ryan...
I moved to the sunshine coast 2 years ago. maroochydore i live in paradise.
Been going to the Sunny Coast for nearly 75 years now. A great place to visit and relax. Will be connected to Brisbane by rail by the Brisbane Olympic Games. Yea!!
hopefully Alan who knows with the current Qld government
Wow, you would've seen some changes.
Train to Caloundra by 2032... I'm not holding my breath. I hope so though. It's only a 19km branch line so shouldn't be too hard.
@@bencodykirk its hard to say Ben look at the stadium issue, i think Victoria Park would be better longer term for football, big bash etc, with them thinking that 15000 temp seats at QPAC is better shows how money wasting they are thinking
Lol, doubt it. They still haven't finished the upgrades to the Bruce and its our national highway. It's a carpark most weekends. Look how many decades it has taken and its still only two lanes most of the way. Super special was when they ripped out the old two lane highway north of the SC motorway exit and built a completely new two lane highway. Our government in action. Or is it inaction?
The long fishing rod is to allow him to cast out over and beyond the breakers into clear water, or into the gutters where the larger fish are more likely. Dart, Trevally, Tailor and Spanish Mackerel in season, are typical catches.
Sydneysider here - in January every one takes off on holidays North Coast (Sydney to Byron Bay) or South Coast (Sydney to Eden). The beaches are just as spectacular, surfs great, sands clean, even if the water is a little colder.
Speaking as another Sydney-sider, I prefer to stay in Sydney through Jan and enjoy the quiet while everyone else is away. Then go away later when the beaches are quieter and cheaper
Robert does the croc shows a lot at Australia Zoo.
Please don't feed the Roberts
He’s a person not a tourist attraction.
Well he should be good at that - well trained into talking a “croc of shite” by his mother and sister. Must run in the family - do hear tell his cousin is an arrogant prick too!
Hi ryan! My name is lau, i was born in colombia but my family migrated to florida when i was 2. When i was 17 i migrated to the sunshine coast and have been here for 7 years. I say im pretty american in my culture and as a fellow american can confrim since i live here that the sunshine coast is absolutley stunning. if you and your family ever want to come here i would be so happy to host you guys.
Yayyy... finally noticed the best place to go and live! We moved here to the Sunshine Coast in 1988 and don't plan on leaving any time soon!
You have so many lifestyle choices depending on your budget, there's beautiful countryside properties on acreage, beach side properties where you can step literally out the back door and walk to the beach in minutes or even seconds from the door! And then there's canal front homes where you can step literally out the back door and walk to your own pontoon with your boat moored and jump in and actually go out to the ocean via the waterways and do some fishing and as long as the catch is legal size, you can just bring it back home and cook up some fresh fish. 😀
A much nicer destination to holiday than the Gold Coast. I frequently holiday in Noosa Heads which offers a great central location for roaming in the district.
The leg signs indicate to drivers that they are approaching a pedestrian crossing.
Ryan, you should look up Busselton in Western Australia. It's on Geographe Bay and we have award winning wineries, the beach 🏖 AND a beautiful forest surrounding us.
Tourists know ALL about the Sunshine Coast, believe me
Noosa is THE holiday destination for tourists
This is indeed as it appears, certainly at least as beautiful as it appears on the video. Noosa is known for its great surf break, but is, as you would expect, very expensive. The hinterland includes Mary Cairncross Reserve, which is subtropical rainforest and full of wildlife. Across from its entrance is a great view over the Glasshouse Mountains. Maleny and Eumundi are very artsy and being quite elevated, are a cool respite from the summertime heat and humidity of the coast. It’s near Bundaberg with its rum distillery and ginger beer production.
Beach fishing is pretty common here in Australia, not so much up north too many croc's
NOOSA HEADS on the Sunshine Coast..... Perfect!
And I've been to some of the most amazing beaches in Asia over the last 30 years 😎
Just an fyi, robert is EVERYWHERE in australia zoo, he's doing us very proud in holding his family's name
Rainbow beach just north of here is amazing too and we holiday there frequently
People catch salmon off the beach in south Australia..lots of different types of fish off the beach and rocks at the Sunshine Coast ...fish for T/ dinner tonight..
If I ever win x-lotto I will buy you a ticket to Australia for you and your family... It is called Surf fishing when they fish from the beach..😊
Good Afternoon Ryan, $2000,000 Aus dollars converted to US dollars is $ 1,320,535.79
He said the price was listed in $US.
Love the Sunshine Coast. When camping in the Glasshouse Mountains for a week with friends years ago. Washed in running stream, dived off a waterfall into a lake, and went hiking up a rocky stream, where I sat in a rock grotto with water flowing in from 3 directions. Stunning time.
How about you take a look at the Fleurieu Region in Sth Australia? Beautiful place where I live. Stunning coastline with surfing beaches, fairy penguins, vineyards and the oldest steam railway in Australia etc. Worth a look.
We’d love to have you. It’s so relaxing. I holidayed here then moved when I left school 43 years ago. Housing prices have gone up dramatically since COVID but it’s still affordable in lots of places. I learned to surf here in the 70’s when not a lot of girls surfed. It’s so nice to see so many girls and women surfing after school drop off time. Hope you and your family can make it some time soon.
There is also a loop that takes you fromMaleny down the valley through Kenilworth and back to Eumundi and Noosa. It is the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. I live here.
The leg sign was a Zebra crossing ( or maybe known as a cross walk)
You were looking at the prices of houses in Twin Waters. There are less expensive houses in adjoining suburbs. Love living here
The Gold Coast is Australia's version of Vegas. North is where you want to go. Check out Port Douglas, Cairns and Hamilton Island (my personal favourite). Now that I live on the west coast, I can go to places like Kalbarri, Monkey Mia, the Pilbara and the Kimberley Coast. I personally can't wait to see Karijini Gorge. We truly are the lucky country.
Living Regionally down South, most of the time it’s along the South Coast, expanding from around Bateman’s Bay. A great pace and nice Beaches and Walking Trails.
That whole South Coast of NSW is worth a trip to Australia. Kiama for the blowholes, Pebbly Beach for the Roos, Tilba for the shops, Bermagui for another beautiful spot, Ulladulla because it is just beautiful there! Fishing is great all through the region. Yes, and Batemans Bay is a beautiful town too! So much to see on the South Coast of NSW.
I live at Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. It’s all beautiful, idyllic lifestyle.❤️
I live on the Sunshine Coast.. minutes away from Underwater Eorld and the Mooloolaba Surf Club.. and about 25 minutes from the Australia Zoo.. im about 30 minutes from the Glasshouse mountains.. its beautiful here.. we also have waterfalls within minutes of my house. ❤
Hi @midnight_sapphire We have just moved to QLD and love waterfalls. Where are the waterfalls you mention please?
i grew up on the sunny coast, it was weird hearing places that i went as a kid told like they are super fancy. in saying that it is pretty expensive now, my parents' house is worth over 1.2 million but when they got it back in 2000 it was 100,000.
I prefer the Sunshine Coast. My parents used to go there each Winter to holiday. Beach fishing is very common all around Australia.
Yes, even Tasmania but watch out for the seals and whales! 😁
30 years now. Moved here that long ago. I'm in the hinterland. My son and his missus will be moving back here after living near the Goldie to raise their first child. :)
Even when it floods, it's beautiful, it's just part of life here and you get used to it.
If it's a flood that's going to last a day or two? We bunker down. Or it might be a big one when the community rallies and gets together to help one another out.
It's a land with rivers and creeks running through it and that it what makes it so beautiful. Gabi Gabi land. I love it.
‘Gabi gabi’ must translate directly to “twice as much bullshit” these days, does it! Like the town/real estate spiel for Bauple used to equal “forestry land that you’ll be told is an ‘investment’ wen they try flogging it to you, knowing full well it’ll be two decades before that investment in pine forest will ever equate to $in the bank, and that the land will take another ten years just to regenerate enough to grow anything “useful” on it! Rose coloured glasses where removed from my head decades ago, and lived experience is still lived experience. If you want to buy a property in a regional town on Qld close to the coast and Brisbane, that is guarenteed to flood, try Gympie! You can almost guarantee flooding three years out of four, and nosey interfering “locals” will just “make your day”!
I’ve lived on the Sunny Coast for about seventeen years and love it. The last 5 years I’m only 20 mins drive west of the coastline so cheaper. I’ve lived on the Gold Coast and Brisbane (I’m from Sydney originally). Love all 3 spots. I’m very lucky.
I live on the sunny coast. Love it!!! Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else❤️
Ive lived on the Sunshine Coast most of my life...
I see the beaches and ocean everyday when I get to ride my Harley, lately its been raining alot
Fishing is also pretty good ..
Love it here
I lived on both the sunshine and gold coasts 30yrs ago when the sunny coast was more untouched and coastal village like, without the ever growing rat-race. Now that relaxed coastal village feel place is the Banana Coast around Coffs Harbour. Similar climate, still small coastal villages (like old school sunshine coast), and even more pristine beaches, and not crowded. With ancient Rainforest and Rolling Green hills and Valleys behind it. In 30yrs it will become like Sunny Coast is now too, but its prime time is now. And is the last truly beautiful coastal area, in a similar sub-tropical climate to the Qld coasts, that is still affordable in comparison. Nearly everywhere else on the east coadt of OZ, with a year round warm climate has already Boomed. Coffs/Banana Coast is only just starting to Boom. Still relaxed for some years yet.
If you want a beautiful place to go when visiting the sunshine coast, it's a bit further north but you must see fraser island (K'gari), especially if you enjoy camping, there is a resort/accommodation, it's one of if not the most beautiful places on the east coast, I've done two 5 day camping trips and only explored maybe 70-80% of the island. There are dingos so there will be times to be cautious and, and unless you have people with you, you shouldn't go sun bathing or lay on the beach as the dingos will come right up to you thinking you're potential food but most of the time they keep their distance and you'll mostly see the pack running along the beach, if I could send photos I'd send photos of the dingos I shared a campsite with, I didn't realize we set up next to their den lol. But I highly recommend it
Ryan my son bought a property 20 minutes drive from Noosa inland near Eumundi last year $ 975000 and now it's valued around $ 1.3 million. It is up in the hills from Eumundi. We went up to stay with my son recently there but the weather was very wet. They have had rain since before December last year. It's like their rainy season. We were playing golf with the Cain toads at night. ( The Cain toads are an introduced species years ago to eat the Sugar Cain Beatles but of course the fools got it wrong and now they have spread everywhere up there). The Sunshine Coast is lovely. We even went to a place called Yeppoon which is six hours drive north of Noosa and that place is very beautiful too. We stayed there for about 4 days. I think you would love it for a holiday. When it is winter in the southern states, a lot of people travel up there to escape the cold weather where I live in Victoria. We are home now and we are coming into our winter here from June, July and August. One day I hope you and your family can come to Australia and see how beautiful it really is. Queensland, Nsw and Western Australia are huge states and takes days to travel across them. It's not good to travel at night as you may hit Kangaroos, Wallaby's, Wombats, Camel's, Emus, foxes, sheep, cattle etc etc. But mainly Kangaroos. Depending on which state your in. Keep up your education of Australia we love your learning experiences. Nev from Oz.
I moved here in October last year and since then it was a “rainy coast”. Still waiting for sunshine 😅🤩
Thats where I go for summer beach days, also had many of my school camps there and my cousins live there. I have so many stories of weekends up on the Sunny Coast
Perfect climate ❤ Beach fishing happens all around Aussie.
the big long pole, is called a surf rod, a large fishing rod.
Yeah and twenty years later, I’m still waiting for the bastard that stole mine, to replace it.
I did marine studies in High school and we had a camping trip to Lady Musgrave Island and camped on the island for a few days, completely remote, the only piece of infrastructure was a pit toilet. Amazing experience waking up on an island on the reef. We also visited Underwater world on the way there and you can book the underwater tunnels to sleep in overnight so you have all the sharks, rays and fish swimming about you as you fall asleep. I've almost visited Australia Zoo on many occasions and got to meet Terri and Bindi, mum has a photo of Bindi. Terri and I when Bindi and I were just little kids. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Steve in person but did get to see him conduct a show at the Crocaseum .
We have a half cabin trailer boat. 23” We can stay quite comfortably holiday on board on the river, for free. 5minutes walk from the coffee shops at the most exclusive Hastings st,. We love it, it’s a beautiful area but don’t have the income to support the lifestyle. Instant coffee on the boat is our normal. With an occasional dinner at the surf club.
I hope you get to come here. Nicknamed the sunny coast. The water is the cleanest you’ll find.
Thanks for showcasing our beautiful area Ryan. The real estate here is much more affordable then the "concrete Jungle" which is the "Gold Coast". G'day from Mount Coolum, Qld, Australia
A house right on Sunshine Beach (5 mins from Noosa) sold for $ 34 million 2 years ago. The buyer approached the owner and gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse. It wasn’t even up for sale.
That's where I live, the Sunny Coast offers so much. Robert Irwin, Bindi and family are there and feed the crocs. It's actually cheaper than places like Sydney/Melbourne.
I have been lucky too call the Sunshine Coast home for about 28 years
By the look on your face Ryan, you want to go to the Sunshine Coast . You and your family must come down here
While on a family caravan trip (August/September school holidays) in the 80s we went to Rainbow Beach/Noosa area and while going on a drive to see what was around my parents put down a $50 deposit on two blocks of land at Tin Can Bay. Mum always carried extra cash for petrol so they tracked down the real estate agent who worked from home and he was happy to take a $50 cash deposit for each block. We then spent every school holiday at TCB for the foreseeable future, building a duplex on one block and keeping one side of the duplex empty for when we would go back up in the holidays. Although it was lovely, it wasn't the most fun place on the planet for a teenager on holidays, lol. Much more populated now though!
When he was zooming in to look at property prices, he was basically looking a few streets away from my parent's holiday unit.
I live on the Gold Coast and holiday in Port Douglas - check that place out - on the Great Barrier Reef and close to Daintree forest - one of the worlds greatest places. Check them out.
OMG _ that's home for me. Lived in Caloundra, my boys were sponsored surfers - used to go surfing before school every day. Even though I went to Uni in Brisbane - which took about 2 hours each way (an hour's drive down the coast and then an hour in Brisbane traffic) - never even considered moving closer because, yeah, it's paradise.
And as for being expensive? Well, as a single mum bringing up kids and going back to Uni again as a Mature Student, lived in a couple of the most beautiful houses we've ever lived in!
The Gold Coast is pretty tacky these days - crawling with tourists and...yes, expensive.
We live in inland Queensland about 3 and a half hours drive from the coastline. I've always preferred the Sunshine Coast but for many many years the Gold Coast was much easier to get to and had more accommodation and entertainment options.
We have only yesterday returned from a 7 night holiday at Caloundra. We will be returning there again in 3 months time. Yes, you are correct, it is that good!
Most people fish off the beach, as well as boats, beach fishing is a lot of fun and you can catch anything you can get in a boat
The Glasshouse mountains are the core plugs of long-gone volcanos. My relatives own the seaward side of one of the smaller ones called Mount Sippy.
It’s called a Surf Rod and I used one to fish from the beach.
It can be a lot of fun surf fishing.
Try and get good worms as bait.
Great show and yes surf fishing is big in Australia. Lots of varieties and sizes🇦🇺🇺🇸🤙
Family moved to Kawana Waters on the Sunshine Coast back in 1984 best place in Australia to grow up
Wow, would be soooo much change there now! I moved there in 1996 from Nambour. I haven't even seen the change in the shopping centre since they've reno'd- I hear there's even a cinema now!
Grew up on the Sunshine Coast, it's true what they're saying about Noosa, the richie's live there, mostly older people. Maroochydore, Alexandra Headlands, Mooloolaba, Point Cartwright, that's the place to be 👌
I’m a Brisbane girl, north side, about 30 mins from Sunny Coast. It’s beautiful. It’s called a surf rod, I’ve caught a shark off the beach with one
Local to the area, every weekend is holiday mode. Visiting markets, local produce stalls, going to the beach cafes and icecream places. Horse riding in the hinterland forests or on the beach. I get that view of the glasshouse mountains every day. It definitely is beautiful and a wonderful place. Yes its a little pricy, the average house is about $800k AUD. But of course there is the nice houses and private eststes worth millions where the celebs live. Tree lights are a thing everywhere all year round.
The Sunshine is quieter and not as overdeveloped as the Gold Coast. I’ve been going there since the 1980s, when Noosa had very little development, not much more than a caravan park and a general store. Despite the growth it has kept its charm. I fondly remember the koalas in the trees in the carpark behind the shops.
you should really check out the Western Australian coast ! from Broome to Margaret River…Ningaloo Reef to Esperance…Exmouth to Kalumburu…Wave Rock to The Pinnacles ! Best night sky, more stars than you knew existed,Less people more beaches but almost nothing is open after 10pm. makes you kick back n relax ...Lol😅
I lived there for two years and it was stunning. Missed my family and came home to Adelaide but man do I miss those gorgeous rainforests. Used to live two streets away from Buderim forest park which had a water fall you could swim under and great big ancient trees. Had dinner on the beach nearly year round. 👌☀️
I am a subscriber from Caloundra southern end of sunny coast.
My husband is a big surfer but not one of our three sons surf and they had free surfing lessons at primary school.
