Does anyone know Nambour? Any information would be appreciated. We will have a child at high school and one starting sixth form/college.
OH a bricklayer, work prospects?
There is a hospital hence the reason for looking there( I am a nurse)
Any info would be great. Thanks J and J


Went to see Ross Noble live in Nambour just a few weeks ago along his Aussie tour (good show if you can catch him and lovely to hear a Geordie accent for 3 hours). Even the Aussies were referring to Nambour as Nambour-ing so you can imagine how Ross had a bit of a field day. Don't think I'd be in a hurry to move here from the other side of the world, put it that way.

Buderim and Mooloolaba FAR nicer. COuld also look at Palmwoods if you want to stay inland a bit

Good luck
Sunshine sarah

Hi I live at Mudjimba on the Sunshine Coast and travel to Nambour to work.It only takes about 15 mins.Nambour is not a bad place but probably not somewhere you would want to live.The Sunshine Coast is an amazing place with loads of nice spots within a 30 min drive of Nambour.

The only thing I know about Nambour is the Big Pineapple which is soooo cool! I had a major sugar high on the way there and while there and was majorly hyper - I'm 27 but regressed to a 7 year old for an hour or 2!! Happy Days!!!!!!!

Last I heard about the Big Pineapple was that it was broke and defunct. Moving the Bruce Highway probably didn't do either it or Nambour much good.

Nambour does has a bit of a reputation, have seen worse but would not dare to mention......in case of offence!!! Mind you they do have a McCafe that does mega flat whites!!! We live in a tiny town ( one horse) Eudlo, about 15 -20 kms away beautiful area, about 30 mins from lovely beaches. Daughter goes to a fantastic school about 10 kms away.
Any help just shout. Judging by all the building going on in QLD hubby should be laughing!!
