From Brisbane, drive north to Caloundra, one of Australia's fastest growing vacation destinations located at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast.

Next, head to nearby Fraser Island for 1 night’s accommodation, a place of exceptional beauty offering long uninterrupted white beaches flanked by strikingly coloured sand cliffs.

You will be accompanied on your visit here by an experienced local guide who will show you around.
Return the following day back to Rainbow Beach for one more night before then heading into the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. Montville is the cultural heart of the region and is renowned for its beautiful parks and waterfalls. Popular attractions include galleries, restaurants, wineries, cheese factories and craft and clothing shops. The world-renowned Australia Zoo is only a 20-minute drive away.
