Caloundra, Coastal town in Sunshine Coast Region, Australia
Caloundra extends along multiple beaches, including Kings Beach, Bulcock Beach, and Shelly Beach, with the Pumicestone Channel separating it from Bribie Island.
The area belonged to the Aboriginal Gubbi Gubbi people, whose language provided the name Caloundra, meaning place of beech trees in their dialect.
The Walk of Stars on Bulcock Street displays bronze stars commemorating Australian and New Zealand music industry contributors through permanent installations.
Public transport connects the town to Sunshine Coast Airport in Marcoola, while Landsborough railway station provides direct access to Brisbane.
The Queensland Air Museum maintains 89 aircraft and aviation artifacts, operating as a volunteer organization open for daily visits.
