Travelzoo boss offers best of travel bargains

Sunshine Coast - A Tourist Haven
Queensland's Sunshine Coast offers such a diversity of attractions and stunning natural beauty that you really need to set aside at least a week to explore this tropical paradise.
There are so many reasons why this is one of Australia's most popular car hire destinations. With some of Australia's best beaches and rivers, tropical rainforests and camping sites, there is something here for everyone.
The climate is one of the best attributes of the Sunshine Coast, being mild in winter and having an average sunshine rate of seven hours in summer.There is no wonder people flock from around the world to visit its beaches, mountains and towns.
If you are driving from Brisbane, the route takes less than two hours, and the scenery is stunning along the Bruce highway to the coastal towns, with the impressive Glasshouse Mountains looming in the distance, and rows upon rows of towering pine trees lining the roadside.
Before you reach the Coast you might want to stop at some of the many attractions which are scattered along the highway.These are a little tamer than the Gold Coast theme parks but just as unique and educational.
