There are so many unexpected moments on the Sunshine Coast.
Thank you People of Pomona for sharing this one.

I stayed down in Coolum last night and was excited to see Owen Cavanagh, also known as Owen Surf Art - Solearte Australia or the "Rakey Master" in action on the beach this morning.

Under Dark Sky Reserve stars, Mystic Mountain Tours offers a way back to calm
Business Feature: Mystic Mountain Tours Night Sky Journey

Life in the world today moves fast – work, traffic, screens, deadlines. For those craving a genuine reset, award winning Mystic Mountain Tours has built an experience designed to do exactly that: slow you down, take you outdoors and reconnect you with something bigger than your inbox.

The Night Sky Journey is the tour operator's latest offering, guiding small groups into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's Dark Sky Reserve – one of only a handful of internationally recognised dark sky places in the world.

“People don't just come for the stars,” says owner-operator Lynn Fallon. “They come because they're craving the peace and quiet that comes with our beautiful natural environment. We watch shoulders drop and relax the moment the bus takes them into nature.”

The evening begins with sunset over the Glass House Mountains, followed by a long-table supper of soup and bread in a private rainforest setting, before guests settle in for guided stargazing through state-of-the-art telescopes. An astronomer also leads the group through naked-eye and binocular viewing, with red lighting preserving night vision as the Milky Way emerges overhead.

“Our region is extraordinary because it holds everything – beach, mountain, rainforest and some of the darkest, clearest skies on the continent,” Lynn says. “We want to help people to feel that connection in one night.”

Guests can also take home a keepsake: a silhouette photo against the Milky Way, captured by astronomer Tyson Purdie for an optional $20.

Mystic Mountain Tours prides itself on a personal touch – no apps, just a phone call to Lynn and Andrew themselves. “We treat every passenger like our tour family,” said Lynn. “That sense of belonging is what keeps people coming back.”

With tours currently running on select Sunday evenings when moonlight is faintest – including 6 September and 11 October – and places strictly limited, early booking is recommended. Group bookings for special events are popular, with more dates being planned, watch this space!

• Tickets are $150 per person. For bookings or more information, contact Mystic Mountain Tours on 0400 086 877 or [email protected].

How special to have these amazing creatures thriving in their natural environment! Thank you On Obi Maleny for this magical moment!

There's a particular kind of quiet that happens when someone spots a platypus.
Everyone stops talking. Phones come down. All eyes on the water.
We've had some lucky sightings on Obi Obi Creek lately, and if you're after a reason to visit Maleny, this might be it. Patience (and a good cup of tea) recommended.

Looking for something special to do.
Go for a walk with Neil the Platypus Whisperer uplifting, calming, fun & fresh air. Some memories to take with you that are a little life changing in the nicest possible way.

A magical moment! Celebrating our Dark Sky Reserve
In the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Come & stay so you see it for yourself!

The stars have aligned... literally!

In case you missed the exciting news, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is now officially Queensland's first Dark Sky Reserve with DarkSky International!

That means our beautiful region is recognised as one of Australia's best places to experience the magic of the night sky. On a clear evening, you can see up to 2,000 stars with the naked eye or around 3,000 through a telescope, plus the Milky Way, constellations and even the occasional shooting star.

By day, explore 23 acres of stunning gardens, meet our incredible birds and Farm Friends. By night, look up and discover a whole new reason to fall in love with the Hinterland.

Now that's a hinterland adventure worth remembering!

Thanks to for this spectacular photo.
