Hi,
Please could anyone tell me th driving distance from The Sunshine Coast to The Gold Coast and what is the closest import docks to these areas. My husband loves his speed boat so are any of the above coastlines any good for boating or are they for just surfing?
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much for taking the trouble in answering my questions.
Answer
From Caloundra at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, to Southport at the northern end of the Gold Coast, it's about 170 km by road and would take a good 2 1/2 to 3 hours on most occasions.
The northern end of Pumicestone Passage which is between Bribie Island and the mainland is at Caloundra and the southern end has access to Moreton Bay. North of Caloundra is unsheltered surf beach.
Southport is on the Broadwater which is good for boating and has direct access to Moreton Bay. It is the the outlet of the Nerang River which winds through the Gold Coast keys, . South of the Broadwater is unsheltered surf beach.
That may all be a bit confusing.
Put simply, you can take a boat in sheltered waters from Caloundra at the southern end of the Sunshine Coast to the Southport Broadwater and the Nerang River on the northern end of the Gold Coast. North of Caloundra and south of the Broadwater are unsheltered surf beaches.
I'm not sure what you mean by an 'import dock' but if it means somewhere you can put your boat into the water, there are many access points. If you mean where a boat would arrive from overseas, that would probably be at Fishermans Island which is at the mouth of the Brisbane River (which flows into Moreton Bay).

Please help! Tsunami/tidal wave Question! Australia, Victoria.?
Chloe Chic
I live near the beach in lakes entrance australia and i am terrified a tsunami is on its way! What would have to happen for a tsunami to hit us? We are nowhere near any earth plates. so i don't think it could be an earthquake. please help... I'm so frightened
Answer
To add to the previous answer, look up "tsunami hazard".
Most tsunamis occur as a result of earthquakes of sufficient
magnitude that
vertically displace the sea floor and occur in relatively
shallow water.
Tsunamis travel thousands of miles across the ocean
so you don't have to be near a tectonic fault to be affected
by tsunamis.
On the bright side, for you, Victoria seems to be relatively
sheltered. It's the folks on the Pacific side of Oz who have
to worry.
