MY WORLD ..Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast

I had occasion to travel north of the city of Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast..this is the mouth of the Maroochy River.
Looks like there are plenty of fishing spots.
The surf club, and some of the many apartments.

Along the Maroochy River, you can still see some of the original mangroves...
plenty of picnic spots!
there are all sorts of choices to make in the housing....
it is in the sub-tropics....

This wonderful stand of palms marks the entrance to the Lutheran College. There is a university on the other side of the hill too!
lovely pandanus line the foreshores.....
there were some surfers on their surf boards out there....
even though it looked a bit choppy to me....
And the wind surfers looked like they were having fun in the wind!
