Distance between Sunshine Coast to The Gold Coast, Australia?

Sam

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.

What venomous creatures live in New Zealand?

petepi3

I am thinking of emigrating to New Zealand for many reasons such as how damn beautiful the place is, but I have fount out that New Zealand has the same giant centipede as Australia. I thought New Zealand had no venomous animals? That's the impression you always get when the place is on travel shows.

Answer
New Zealand has no harmful animals like poisonous snakes, scorpions or venomous insects, so its sole poisonous native spider â the rare katipÅ â has almost mythical status. Since the late 19th century there have been accidental introductions of the poisonous redback and white-tailed spiders from Australia.

KatipÅ

MÄori knew of a poisonous spider that lived on or near some of the warmer North Island beaches. They called it the katipÅ, which means ânight-stingerâ. The scientific name is Latrodectus katipo.
Only the adult female katipÅ bites. A fully-grown female is about the size of a garden pea. It is black, with a bright red stripe on its back.
KatipÅ are naturally shy, and would probably only bite if accidentally squashed. Few New Zealanders have ever seen one, let alone been bitten. Despite their reputation, there is no solid evidence that anyone has died from a katipÅ bite in the last 100 years.
A closely related spider, the so-called black katipÅ (Latrodectus atritus), lives in sand dunes further back from the beach, in the northern North Island. Lacking the red stripe, it is a similar but distinct species that is not poisonous.

KatipŠspiders are now classified as a threatened species. It is illegal to collect or deliberately kill them. The decline is probably because of changes in the beach habitat, especially the replacement of native pīngao with marram grass.


Redback spider
In recent years small numbers of the Australian redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) have been recorded in different parts of New Zealand. Because it prefers dry sheltered places, it is often found in outbuildings. There appear to be only small, localised populations, and because the climate is cooler and damper than that of Australia, it is unlikely to increase greatly.

White-tailed spider
Two species of the Australian white-tailed spider, Lampona cyclindrata and Lampona murina, have been recorded in New Zealand, and appear to have been present for at least 100 years. Both live in cracks and crevices, sometimes on the outside of houses.

The bite of the white-tailed spider is not poisonous to humans. There has been considerable publicity about serious skin infections, called necrotic lesions, that may develop near bites. In a recent Australian study of 130 confirmed white-tailed spider bites, 75% of people said the bite was less painful than a bee sting, and nobody developed lesions.

8 Significant Elements to start working on your own Home Based Business.

1. Home Based Businesses boom right across the continent and also worldwide ---
There is no more corporate nor an employee loyalty; corporate greed is looking after its own interests only; many a CEO is performing very poorly but still getting paid huge salaries and benefits, many a time closing their doors in over night manner, vide just recent ATA airliner. There will be many more to follow.

2. Ever increasing high risk of being unemployed ---
Itâs been said over and over again that the greatest financial risk a person could take in life is to work for someone else. Just have a look how many older people work at fast food joints flipping burgers to supplement their pensions or simply forced to do so for they experienced a rude awakening of not having company pension at all or being fully dependent on the illegal pyramid made legal --- Social Services or Old Age Pension.

3. Low investment to start the Home Based Business and much lower risk ---
High return on individual efforts; very high income potential; no special licensing required, no franchise costs or fees; team support and most of all, inexpensive affordable access to relevant education.

4. Open to everyone, with equal pay for women ---
This reason, in my opinion being one of the most important. Home Based Business is open to labourers, skilled people, tradesmen, teachers, nurses, medical practitioners, professionals, High School dropouts. Everybody knows something about something, has knowledge, passion, hobby and experience from the job or profession, can take that experience and turn it into significantly profitable on-line Home Based Business with no special skills needed. Relevant business training and money management is in most cases available for no cost or very minimal fees.

5. Access to national and international, global markets ---
Opportunity to conduct your business on all levels â locally, state or province wide, coast to coast in Australia or Japan, worldwide; independency from local, regional or countryâs economy situation, choice to live anywhere we desire, small town, by the lake, farm, top of the mountain, on the beach in Hawaii, anywhere where Internet connection is available.

6. Residual income ---
No more trading our time for money; target marketing that works for you 24/7/365 will bring results, sales and income even when you sleep or enjoy your vacation. In case of involvement in Network Marketing, through the team work of many worldwide, your group working hours can extend thanks to compounding to unlimited hours in one work day! Leverage and Metcalfâs Law in itâs full force!

7. Significant tax advantages ---
The same write-offs as corporations; lower taxation rate; part of the mortgage write off; travel expenses; even family vacations; legal use of tax shelters abroad or off-shore.

8. Ethics and Values, that in corporate world are following the path of dinosaurs ---
Life with passion and purpose; leading and showing others how to succeed; teaching critical life skills such as how to become debt free and financially independent; global movement of spreading knowledge, for knowledge is power and proper use of acquired knowledge represents financial freedom, relaxed well-being and most of all unique lifestyle that is simply unattainable in the corporate world.
