Historic Places In Australia's Sunshine Coast
By Zane Archer Published: 01/13/2010
The Sunshine Coast of Australia is located north of Brisbane and has a variety of coastal towns. Some of these towns include Coolum, Caloundra, Noosa and the Sunshine Hinterland area.
The Sunshine Coast has quite a collection of historical attractions, one of which is the scenic railway line known as the Valley Rattler which tours the Mary Valley in the Coast's Cooloola Region. Visitors can choose between half-morning excursions, half day excursions and full day excursions on this quaint old-fashioned steam train known as the Red Rocket Rail Motor. Full day excursions see the train traveling to Dagun, Imbil and Kandanga, where passengers can disembark and tour these towns. Half day excursions can take place either in the morning or the afternoon and include trips to Amamoor and Dagun Stations where visitors can enjoy morning or afternoon tea or perhaps a glass of wine. The half-morning excursions last two hours and the train travels between Gympie and Amamoor Stations, giving passengers a chance to explore the Amamoor arts and crafts fairs.
Then there is the Landsborough Museum, located on Maleny Street. This is an extensive look at the social history of the Sunshine Coast. This area museum collects, preserves and exhibits all the artifacts, documents and stories relating to Caloundra City. There is a exhibit that includes the personal collections of explorer William Landsborough, Premier of Queensland; Sir Francis Nicklin and local businessman John Tytherleigh. There are also exhibits of indigenous tools, camera equipment, dental equipment and relics from the SS Dicky wreck. The museum also house an extensive library of local documents of historical significance, photographs and Government Gazettes.
And last but not least is Sunshine Castle Bli Bli, a unique recreation of a Norman Castle in the Australian outback that dates back to 1971. Castle Bli Bli offers tourists so many things to do that it is hard to know where to start describing them and hard to know what to do first.
You could start by wandering through the toy and doll museum, with its fairytale dioramas, model train railway and dancing dolls or you could, instead, start by climbing the 24m tall lookout tower to enjoy the superb view of both the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland. But whatever you do, don't miss your chance to sit on the original throne as used in the Xena, Warrior Princess, television series. - 28385
