Getting Around:
Airport shuttles can get you here from both Brisbane and Maroochydore. It is possible to get around on the local buses and use coach tours but the immediate area is best explored on foot and it would be preferable to have a car to travel further afield.
Once you are here, you can simply walk to many local attractions. There is a coastal track where you can walk or ride all the way up to Point Cartwright or all the way down to Caloundra.
