Nambour

Cafes and churches are just a few things travelers like about Nambour. A stop by Ferntree Creek National Park is also recommended if you've got time to explore the area.

Nambour
Eastern Water Dragons are fairly common in SE Queensland and can be found sunning themselves by local rivers and creeks, or in this case, in the beautiful gardens of the Spirit House in Yandina.  The Thai food here is soooo delcious!  They also take cooking classes if you are keen to learn the house secrets.  It is about an hour and a half drive north of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Nice unit - well laid out. Good parking. A bit on the noisy side though with the road nearby and the tradies starting work at 5:30 and having conversations right outside my door. No on-site food.
