"Nothing to see here folks"
Yikes ! Awful place. The pub kind of has the feeling like the old tv show "cheers" .... except the is no friendly people in it . Mostly if you go there , you get stared at or ignored by the bar staff . And take your life into your own hands should you choose to eat there . There was a bit of a revolving door of cooks there .. we even got offered rotten pork chops one night... no bullshit ! Keep looking further a feild if your looking for hinterland charms . There are plenty more than kin kin
"Great town .. friendly people"
Gundy is awesome !!! Sure its a little quiet on sundays but ..... who cares ! 6 days a week there is a great vibe about town . People are friendly and not afraid to say Gday and shoot the breeze for a while . Nice cafes and bakery .. good pubs .. great shops . Its a winner I reckon .

Noosa is the pits .. mooloolaba is great coolum beach is nice too ... though both are pricey . I lived in noosa for 20 years and feel i can pass judgment clearly. Caloundra has lots of nice beaches and is more price friendly..... though if your looking for a beautiful place , Rainbow beach trumps them all . About an hour north of noosa (just far enough away) it has evertyhing .
Expensive just means out of my price range, those places are not comparable. It's like telling someone to go Coventry instead London, it might represent value but that's hardly the point. The fact it is expensive is what keeps the atmosphere salubrious and civilised. It's also naturally much more picturesque that those places, with turquoise waters, rainforest like vegetation (Caloundra is especially barren), and a dramatic headland - not to mention high quality bars and restaurants. The only one of those alternatives that is palatable is Coolum, but it is spoilt by a caravan park and McDonalds.
Hi JohnoM,
Can you please give a bit more information about where is nicer? I am looking to move to the Sunshine Coast and am looking for somewhere that has a bit of money as it will support my trade that I plan to work in when I get up there, but is also pretty, relaxed and beachy. I am thinking either Mooloolabar or Noosa but have concerns as people have told me that they're extremely budget concious in Maloolabar and those areas. Is the food really average in Noosa or did you just not like paying the prices? We're the people friendly? Let me know what you think.
Thanks
