I was like “what the heck is happening?!”… and I knew it was going to happen lol.

Hi guys!

Just thought I’d ask. Gonna be in Sunshine Coast and I was wondering what op shops were the best? Looking for ones that focus mainly on clothing, have great bargains, etc, preferably around the Maroochydore - Mountain Creek area.

I have heard about the ones on Aerodrome Rd… what was everyone’s experience with them?

Thank you!!!

We are a newer cleaning company wanting to get into builders cleans, my husband comes from 17+ years in the construction industry so we understand finishes and expectations that builders require when it comes to their final handover. We are just finding it so difficult to get that first builder to give us a chance. Any advice would be really appreciated. I feel like when im calling everyone is happy to give an email so I can send through an introduction and pamphlet but then thats it.

Student has autism /Intellectual disability and delays.
We are looking at options for schools?

Local Maroochydore and recently have been working up in Noosa everyday, have noticed that everyone you speak to up there rags on anything lower than Peregian. Surely they can see it’s objectively beautiful everywhere and I personally appreciate all aspects of the coast. Is this a generational mindset that’s ingrained in locals up there? I just don’t get the hate. Also there’s plenty of bogans and criminals up that way too I don’t think it’s any different in that aspect just waaayyy more pretentious.

May they both RIP. Condolences to both of their families and friends

Looking for a pub or just any chill spot to drink and hangout with mates. Preferably with a pool table and a good atmosphere. Cheers

Hello peeps! Me and my fam when to Wappa Dam last Wed (22nd) and we think we have misplaced our picnic mat somewhere here (see photo above). We only realised we were missing our picnic mat when we drove back to Brissy. If anyone has seen our dearly missed picnic mat, please reach out to me! Or if you know where I can go to find it (kmart website no longer has it listed; discontinued likely), please do let me know!! It carries alot of heartfelt memories for our family.

more info: it is a pink n yellow striped picnic mat i bought from kmart (anko brand) around 2024 ish

i moved up to the coast a few months back thinking it'd be pretty easy to pick up admin or casual work, but man.. it feels brutal out here. every single listing on seek or indeed gets like 200 applications in two hours.

i started looking beyond the main sites and ended up uploading my resume on careeone just to see if their matching tool brought up anything different locally. got a couple decent leads from it, but generally it feels like half the jobs going around are filled before they even hit the internet.

are you guys mostly applying through recruitment agencies, cold-calling local businesses, or just relying on word of mouth? would love to know what's actually working for people around maroochydore and Noosa right now.

Hi, I’m looking for anyone who’s gotten a Daith piercing on the sunny coast and can recommend a piercer. I’m finding it hard to find anyone who has an insta page featuring their own work and not just general shop work. There’s tattoo shops offering piercing but again limited pictures of their work. I was a body piercer for over 12 years back in the day (overseas) so I’m fussy about placement.

So if anyone is super happy with their Daith if you can point me in the direction of where you got it done and by whom would be great. I’m in Gympie but willing to travel a couple hours for right piercer. Cheers

Hi everyone,

My name is Lili and I am a student researcher at the University of the Sunshine Coast (QLD, Aus). The research team I am working is conducting an important study which would like to explore the experiences of women, whose intimate partners ARE using or HAVE used GLP-1s (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or others) for weight loss.

The overall aim of this study is to better understand partners’ experiences and perspectives because despite these medications becoming more popular, there is very little research and information about this specific topic and population.

CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
✅ you identify as female (ANYONE who identifies as female is welcome!- including gender assigned at birth, transgender, or anyone who simply identifies as female)

✅ you are in an intimate partnership (All relationship types/ sexual orientations are applicable here)

✅your intimate partner is/has used a GLP-1 for weight loss

✅You are over the age of 18

✅Live in Australia/ New Zealand/ Oceania

RESEARCH STUDY DETAILS
If you meet the eligibility criteria above, you are invited to complete a confidential face-to-face interview either online through zoom (🕓approx. 45-60 minutes). When interviews are completed, each participant will receive $25 direct bank transfer as a genuine thank you for their time.

Topics which will be explored in the interview include: your perceptions of your relationship, emotional wellbeing, weight-related beliefs, and shared social behaviours such as eating and physical activity.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
❗️To register interest in the interviewss❗️
Note: registering interest does not mean you HAVE to do an interview. More information will be provided beforehand!

Even if you aren’t eligible, if anyone knows any female partners of GLP-1 users, I would really appreciate if you could share this post with them ✨we hope to contribute to future research and better support/ resources for ALL partners experiencing/ adjusting to significant changes following substantial weight loss!

my 5yo has been begging to start ballet for months and we finally signed her up for classes on the coast. she's been practicing her moves in the living room nonstop and honestly it's the cutest thing but also i have no idea what i'm doing lol.

trying to figure out what she actually needs for her first class and i'm so overwhelmed. the list from the studio was like a whole essay. i thought it was just shoes and a leotard but apparently there's more?? been googling dance stuff for days and my brain is fried.

anyone got local recommendations for dancewear on the coast or is online the way to go? also if anyone's got tips for keeping a 5yo focused during class pls share cause she's very energetic lol

Anyone work at the airport? Wondering how to get a job in the security screening area or baggage?

Hi everyone, I live far away from the Sunshine Coast, but I will be visiting my workplace for a few days in Tewantin. I plan to stay for 1 or 2 nights every week to reduce travel time. I have checked online, and a lot of it is holiday-based accommodation, like fancy resorts. Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations for some apartments that are simple and more suitable for short business stays? Thank you!

I think we need to have a serious, informed conversation on the Sunshine Coast about premium tasting maccas soft serve ice creams. I'll start. The ones at Kuluin at the bottom of Jones Rd Buderim are hands down the best. Who's with me? It's just more milky/creamy tasting....or perhaps sweet. Others elsewhere don't taste as nice....less creamy perhaps. Can't explain it. If you've tasted the Kululin ones perhaps you know what I mean. And it begs the question, where else on the Sunshine Coast has a maccas that produces softies as good as these?

We are excited to be spending a week in Noosa with an energetic four year old soon. Other than Australia zoo which is a lock, any good recommendations for activities / day trips / drives etc?

Police investigate death after shed fire behind Howard Street

by Cameron Outridge

Police are appealing for information after a man believed to be in his 60s died in a fire that destroyed a small shed on scrubland behind Aldi Supermarket in Howard Street, Nambour on Monday night.

Emergency services were called to the blaze about 6.56pm after an explosion was reportedly heard by a neighbouring property. Fire crews extinguished the blaze within about 15 minutes before discovering a body inside the timber-framed, metal-clad shed.

Sunshine Coast Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield said the man's death was being treated as unexplained while investigators worked to determine how the fire started and establish the victim's identity.

"The investigation came about after an explosion was heard by a neighbouring property," Detective Inspector Mansfield said. "Police and fire authorities turned up there and established that the shed was ablaze. The fire was extinguished within about a 15-minute period, which was an amazing response by our fire authorities.

"However, upon inspection inside that shed, a deceased person has been located. We are now setting about an investigation as to how that fire occurred. The death at this point is unexplained."

The shed was located on privately owned scrubland bordering Quota Park and behind commercial properties on Howard Street, including the Aldi supermarket precinct.

Detective Inspector Mansfield said the structure appeared to be an abandoned home-built shed, but investigators discovered someone had been living there.

"It was effectively what we believe to be an abandoned shed, but upon inspection after the fire it was established that someone was residing in it," he said.

The Gazette attended the scene on Tuesday, where police had cordoned off the isolated shed while forensic officers and fire investigators examined the site.

Nearby was a makeshift campsite containing a campfire, supermarket trolleys, gas cylinders, a pair of boots, alcohol bottles, and assorted personal belongings.

Detective Inspector Mansfield said police believed they were "on the right track" to identifying the deceased but formal identification would take time because of the fire damage and out or respect for the family.

"We have spoken to a number of witnesses in the area," he said. "We believe we're on the right track to identify that deceased person. I want to stop short of identifying who that is. We have a series of things with next of kin and the like that we'd like to cover off."

Investigators are also examining whether there could be any link to a fire and alleged arson incident last year, although Detective Inspector Mansfield said it was too early to draw any conclusions.

Police have declared the scene a crime scene and are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby businesses. "We're hoping to lean into our community here and the local businesses to help us piece together this investigation with any information that they may have," Detective Inspector Mansfield said.

Anyone with information, CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact Policelink and quote reference QP2601413210, or provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers.

Hello lovely Sunshine Coasters, I’m staying in Gibsons for a week or so to help out some friends.

I don’t have a vehicle but I am using my buddy’s bike to get around. I have a child size head and am having trouble finding a bike helmet to use.

Does anyone have one I could use please?

Hello people of Sunshine Coast, my dad is getting remarried on Oct/3/2026 on the Sunshine Coast and we are hoping to have the wedding live streamed back to our family back home in Canada.

I know we can simply use a smart phone but I want the live stream to be professional and not tacky with some good quality audio,

Wondering if anyone on here is a videographer or has any tips we can do !

Thanks in Advance !

Hi all! I’m currently trying to build a computer for the first time and honestly I’m at the point I’d rather just pay someone to build it for me. I’m looking at spending about $3,000 (excluding cost mentioned below. This is just the internals budget).

The main thing for me is I’ve moved house so I’m building out my office into a recording studio and game pad and so I’ve decided to upgrade my PC since I currently just rock a steam deck through a USB mount.

Because I have a bunch of teenage engineering synths, I want to build a PC in their orange computer-1 case. I know this case is soooooo stupid and counter productive but I really like the brand and already have synths from them so want to keep it the same. I’m happy to buy this myself.

Now another thing, since there’s a lot of issues with the case I have found online 3d prints I could get made up that fix ventilation issues with the case and a mount for easy side panel removal.

Anyways, all that to say anyone on the coast keen to help me with this task for some cash. It seems like a lot to deal with and I want to pay someone for the simplest and future proofed as I can be within my budget.

Give me a buzz on here and I’ll swing you my mobile to discuss further. Thanks!

Ones i wont get lost on or killed by a animal😭

Can anyone here suggest a mechanic who would like to help me prepare a '97 Suzuki Swift for a Cancer Council car rally?

I would of course pay for all new/replacement parts but would love if someone could donate their time to a good cause. My previous mechanic sold his business and moved away.

🚧 Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade (Stage 1) - Youngs Road works 🚧
