Accolades for the Sunshine Coast
It’s all been happening on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast lately, with good news for golfers, divers and those who prefer chilling out on the beach.
Hyatt Regency Coolum was recently named Best Australian Golf Course Resort at the Luxury Travel & Style 2007 Gold List Awards. The resort was also a finalist in the Best Australian Spa Resort category.
Another accolade for the Sunshine Coast has gone to Coolum Beach, which has been named Queensland's Cleanest Beach 2006.
The popular swimming and surf beach outperformed 175 other entrants from along the Queensland coast and islands in the annual Keep Australia Beautiful's Clean Beach Challenge.
Meanwhile, the dive business on the Sunshine Coast is booming as a direct result of national and international interest in diving on the wreck of the ex-HMAS Brisbane.
The latest estimate from the Environment Protection Agency suggests about 8,000 divers have made around 14,000 separate dives on the wreck since it was scuttled in July 2005.
The Sunshine Coast's Scuba World has reported a 400 per cent boost in dive numbers in the twelve months following the scuttling of the ex-HMAS Brisbane.
