If you're a mad lover of flowers and plants and live on the Sunshine Coast, the Noosa botanical gardens should make your to-do list. It's completely free and although it doesn't compete with the scale of the Brisbane Botanical Gardens it will fill an impressive few hours of strolling around + they kindly let in dogs on leashes :)
This last visit I was a tad obsessed with trying to capture all the different flowers, so prepare yourself for an overload!
