Santa gets the lowdown on hinterland tourist and business hot spots
Santa visited the Big Pineapple. “I’ve only seen it from the sky,” he said. “So it was great to get up close. It’s bigger than I imagined.”
Nambour Chamber of Commerce, Nambour Team Co, Nambour Retailers Group have joined forces under their I Am Nambour banner with working partners Sunshine Coast Council and Visit Sunshine Coast to show off the Gateway to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland region.
Santa Claus did a reconnaissance tour in order to update his knowledge of the region and was suitably impressed.
“There’s so much to do and see,” he said. “I can’t wait to come back at Christmas time.”
I Am Nambour ambassador Rhonda Billett said the Gateway to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Region had heaps to offer this holiday season.
“Taking Santa on tour was our way of having some fun and showing what you can do,” she said. “We have an amazing mosaic of things to experience in this region, from arriving at Sunshine Coast Airport, staying at Luxury Farm Stays or boutique BnBs, to visiting places like the Big Pineapple, Wild Life HQ Zoo, then onto dining at local restaurants, getting caffeinated at our amazing cafes, visiting our national parks, playing at our two water slide locations, following the Nambour op shop trail, looking at the stunning gardens, exploring local waterfalls, spotting wild platypus enjoying local picnic spots and supporting local road side food stalls.
“There is so much to experience in this Sunshine Coast Hinterland region, on any budget this holiday season wether you are a long time local or visiting the region. And Santa loved these experiences.”
