Sticking close to the highway, however, there’s still a fair amount to see. Top attractions include the Aussie World theme park near Caloundra and Buderim Falls in Buderim.
Further north, Yandina brings up Asian cooking classes at Spirit House, walking trails on on Mount Ninderry, a tasting experience at the Ginger Factory and a photogenic swim at Wappa Falls.
The Yandina Markets are also here, but the Eumundi Markets to the north are bigger and more enjoyable.
