Mooloolaba
Mooloolaba is a tourist resort township in the centre of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, 100km north of Brisbane, Queensland. Mooloolaba is bounded on the east by the Coral Sea, on the south by the Mooloolah River, on the north by Alexandra Headland and to the west by Buderim. Mooloolaba harbour (actually the mouth of the Mooloolah River) is the home of a large fleet of fishing vessels, as well as the northern base for the pilot vessels that control shipping through Moreton Bay and the Port of Brisbane. Due to its sheltered location in the lee of Point Cartwright it is an all weather harbour favoured by recreational sailors. The Esplanade facing Mooloolaba beach is a centre for tourist activity, containing many souvenir and clothing shops, galleries and restaurants. Behind the apartments facing the beach are camping grounds, backpacker hostels and canal villas. The entire Sunshine Coast is an easy drive from Brisbane. Mooloolaba is serviced by coach from Brisbane or by air from Maroochy airport.
