From the serene waterways of Mooloolaba to the silver screen in Nambour, there is something for everyone to enjoy today.

Gourmet Relaxation

For a touch of luxury, the Bush to Coast High Tea is available today at the Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort. Running as part of their 2026 seasonal offerings, this experience features carefully crafted sweet and savory treats inspired by local Australian botanicals. It is an ideal way to spend a refined Monday afternoon overlooking the resort's private lagoon.

Community and Environment

Local community groups are also active today. Following the official Clean Up Australia Day yesterday, several local volunteer groups are continuing their efforts with small-scale beach clean-ups and environmental monitoring. It is a great time to visit our local parks and appreciate the pristine beauty our community works so hard to maintain.
