"When discussing the history of the Sunshine Coast region, it becomes clear that, in comparison to other Australian regions, it has advanced significantly in a relatively short amount of time. The Sunshine Coast has developed relatively naturally over the years due to its location halfway between Brisbane, which serves as Queensland's financial and commercial center, and the route to Gympie gold. Kilometers of beautiful beaches, rolling hinterland woods, and an embellishment of lakes and rivers have all played a part in its organic growth. These features make the Sunshine Coast a popular destination for both tourists and people wishing to settle down permanently. Artists and craftspeople are particularly drawn to the area."
"There are so many wonderful things to do in the Sunshine Coast that Nambour, traditionally a bit of an industrial and urban centre, was often overlooked.

And that?s exemplified at Stalwart Brewing, where an old pub has been given a new lease of life with some modern ales."
