Hello,

We are two girls from Europe coming to Australia for holidays from 15th December to 15th January, we are planning a road trip to explore kite spots& Australian lifestyle and on a way!
Would you recommend us any must see and experience spots on a way from Melbourne to Brisbane?? Where is it worth to spend more time? We are going to have a van where we can sleep so we are pretty flexible. Flat waters would be best, or easy waves to ride ;)
Also what are the winds this time of the year, which sizes of kites would you recommend us to take?

We will appreciate any hints, tips, information!
Thx :)

The Sunshine Coast an hour and a half north of Brisbane is supa good

3 Flatwater rivermounths

Caloundra,Cotton Tree and Noosa

Caloundra works on SE winds

Cotton Tree and Noosa on NE winds

Best on a runout tide

And epic downwinders in the surf along the beaches on any wind from N to E to S

Wind should be between 12-25 kts most days Dec/Jan

Bring a 11m and a 8m kite

Always catch up with local crew and ask for rules as we are sometimes facing local government sanctions if not followed,
so don't bugger it up for the locals!
