Maroochydore, c 1931. MAROOCHYDORE 21735450?searchTerm=maroochydore&searchLimits=l-state=Queensland ) The pride of the district and of the North Coast is Maroochydore, the largest town on the North Coast seafront. It is approached by a wonderful bitumen road of 11 miles from Palmwoods. This is one of the most delightful drives in the district. The pleasent smoothness of the trip is enhanced in enjoyment by pineapple and citrus orchards on either side. Glorious fertile valleys and glens, wooded slopes, and a forest of big timbers are some of the delights of this entrancing highway. There are occasional glimpses of the beautiful Maroocy River, while a beautiful portion of the road is a tropical palm grove. On arriving at Maroochydore the visitor is immediately impressed with the modern appearance of the place. The tourist will also be impressed with the up-to-date and comfotable accommodation that is available. There is only one hotel - The Club - conducted by Mrs. Stretton. This is a most delightful place at which to stay. The accommodation is up to date and the surroundings truly glorious, situated as it is on the beautiful Maroochy River, not far distant from the surf. The river is a distinctive feature of this popular watering place. For boating and swimming the wide shallow waters are ideal. Delightful motor boat tours are frequently conducted up the river, where some of the prettiest scenery in the district may be seen. The river winds itself through beautiful cultivated fields, sugar plantations, and palm lands. Trips are regularly conducted in a spacious launch to Deepwater, Bli Bli, Dunethia Rock, and other scenic spots. Maroochydore is only a short walk from the main surfing beach, which is noted for its great expance and ideal surfing. The Life Saving Association of Australia (North Coast branch) has its headquarters at Maroochydore, and right through the holiday season life savers patrol the beach.
