Accommodation

It is often much cheaper to contact the local real estate agents and see if they have short time accommodation. When I last stayed at the Holiday Hub in Pambula, the bloke next door was looking after some ankle biters. He was telling me their parents had rented a cottage up on the hill next door for half the price of a cabin in the park.

A 30 min drive on the Sunshine Coast can frequently turn into something else if the traffic turns nasty.
Better to be closer and be able to walk if necessary.
