Sunshine Coast Map Poster & Print

The Sunshine Coast is not a single city but a long urban coastline, stretching north from Caloundra past Mooloolaba and Maroochydore toward Coolum, roughly an hour's drive north of Brisbane. On a map it reads as a string of settlements tucked between the Pacific and a series of rivers, canals and lakes, with the Bruce Highway running parallel inland.

Its natural features are unusually varied for one frame. The Maroochy and Mooloolah rivers reach the sea through town centres lined with canal estates, the Pumicestone Passage separates Caloundra from Bribie Island in the south, and to the southwest the Glass House Mountains, the eroded cores of ancient volcanoes, rise abruptly from the plain. Inland, the Blackall Range carries a line of small hinterland towns.

A Sunshine Coast map poster works well precisely because of this variety. The smooth sweep of the surf beaches contrasts with the intricate fingers of canal developments, the winding rivers and the scattered shapes of lakes and headlands. In a clean black and white style, the whole coastline becomes a long, elegant composition that suits a vertical or horizontal frame.
