I love Kings Beach in Caloundra! That is very nice. In my impression, Surfers Paradise sounds like a shopping mall. Kings Beach is like a beach. That is the reason to love there.
In Australia, we got a large portion of agriculture area. We can escape from the urban city easily and go to a farm for enjoying a country life.
We went to a strawberry farm for that purpose few weeks ago. On that day, there was a sunny day(REMEMBER THE SUN PROTECTION!!!). We were enjoy to pick strawberries! I picked a whole box of strawberry( I think that is around a kg). All of them were very big and fresh! They costed around $10, that is bit expensive than supermarket. But they are fresher and picking strawberries is a kind of fun too!
In addition, the farm has a picnic area. You can wash your strawberries and eat them in there too! That should be a good choice for family activities!
That is around an hour driving distance from Brisbane. It should be a good choice of your getaway break during this weekend.
