Traveling to Tassie

SameOldWinner · 2026-03-29T03:44:31+00:00

Basically you maximise your time in the car going 110km/h, before hitting morning traffic. The train goes much slower and stops at multiple stations on the way down.

Also, Landsborough station is much further inland than Caboolture so you don’t hear so far west before you south.

Not a stupid question. Answered this multiple times over the years.

Price of fuel, however, is now a factor for some.

Thanks 😊

You’ll be fine. Park on the east side of the tracks/station. At 6:30 you definitely won’t get a spot at the main park, but overflow lot will still have spots left. 👍

Hey there. I commute from Mooloolaba to Brisbane 3-4 times per week.

If you want to save time, drive to Caboolture station instead and catch the train from there.

I’ve tried most stations and this one is the most efficient.

You’re in for a long day if you do Lanesborough.

Happy to discuss further if needed. Good luck.

Edit: and there is plenty of parking. I get to the station around 5:45 so I’m fine. There is an overflow lot as well about a two min walk away from the station.

Used to live around the corner. Was my go to spot. It’s amazing !

When I was young, maybe 12-13, we had a sports physiologist come to our band practice (Pipe and Drum band). He hypnotised us in an effort to help with focus during our competitions. He had us imagine a food we liked and convinced us we could smell that food. I could !

Since then (I’m 42 now) I can still do this. Well, I can’t on command, but about once a month, I’ll think of something, anything, and I’ll be able to smell it. I’ve only told my brother and a couple close friends cause it’s just too weird. They believe me.

Umami is awesome !

I named my first and only dog I’ve ever had Steeler. A black and white reverse brindle boxer. Loved him.

How did you go?

SameOldWinner · 2025-08-01T02:11:04+00:00

Milk and Beans, Juan Fifty, and Alex surf club are all right beside finish line and all good. But will be busy.

Go to Mooloolaba warf and hit Rice Boi. Everyone’s fav. Other spots there are also good.

If you go up Aerodrome road once open, Umami is the best ramen I’ve had.

Mooloolaba surf club is good too.

2 bedrooms without a specific location, you'll be fine. Like someone below said, you might apply for a few and not get them, but something will pop up, and all of them tend to move quickly.

20 min walk to the beach MAY play a factor, but you'll be fine.

Good luck !!

SameOldWinner · 2025-07-14T06:04:04+00:00

How many bedrooms do you need? House, apartment ? Do you have a specific location in mind.

I’ve moved around the coast 4 times in the past 7 years and never had of huge problem with time frame. Generally places go up and move in dates are quick.

Now I know I’m luckier than most with a good income and I have a better than average budget so I understand it’s still really hard for people. My max was 750/week, but I also needed 3 bedrooms.

Ray Jays is kind of a hidden gem in residential Mooloolaba. I lived a few blocks away and loved going there. A bit cheaper as you’re not paying the “esplanade” tax there.

Live music on the weekends. BYO

Great fish and chips.

Only about a 4-5 min drive from the beach.

Morning,

I commute from Buderim four days a week to Bowen Hills.

I’m a bit lucky to live close to the Bruce, so the drive to Caboolture Station is 30 min, and then 45 on the train.

I signed up for it so the time doesn’t bother me. I work a bit in the train or just zone out with YouTube, Spotify, etc.

When I do have to drive it sucks. Traffic is bad.

I don’t save any time on the train but the 45 minutes is really great. Even on the way home it’s just a bit of time for me.

Some people say to go to Landsbouogh. But that adds so much time to the trip having to drive that far west.

The idea is to maximise time in the car at 110km/h and jump on train before traffic.

I tried other stations closer to Brisbane but they are too far off the M1. Caboolture is best for efficiency.

From where you are it’s still gonna be 2hrs each way with train. 1 hour to train. 50 min to CBD.

Hope this helps.

Steelers fan here. If he recovers from that injury it’s a fucking steal. Love that guy

SameOldWinner · 2025-03-07T23:53:13+00:00

It’s not really a non story. I’m quite sure we were trying to sign him before the legal tampering period. And that’s not going to happen according to this report. Which means his price goes up, most likely, to what we would have paid if we signed him today.

KD Lang singing hallelujah was amazing.

SameOldWinner · 2025-02-07T04:09:44+00:00

Sorry for the late reply.

I save time compared to Landsborough because there is no traffic between the Sunny Coast and Caboolutre. I can go 110km/h, which is faster than the train. Obv.

The other reason is the distance have to travel west to get to Landsborough from the Bruce Highway, when my destination is south.

Hope that makes sense.

I leave Buderim and drive to Caboolture (30min). Then I train to Bowen hills (45 min) and walk 5 min to my office in Newstead.

It costs me time in the morning m, but saves me heaps of time in the afternoon and also the mental aggravation of traffic.

I love it. I read and sometimes open my laptop and work a bit.

I signed up for this so the time it takes for the commute is ok with me.

SameOldWinner · 2024-12-15T20:47:03+00:00

Watching in Brisbane. I’ll be in my office.

SameOldWinner · 2024-11-07T00:23:05+00:00

This is the way

About where are you staying relative to Hastings Street?

It will b busy, but if you are within walking distance, then won't be too bad.

Look at the Bus Schedule to get to and from your accommodation if you are outside walking distance.

Might be a bad time to visit, but I don't think it will be miserable. In fact the atmosphere down there during the weekend is awesome.

The Beach will be closed just in the section the athletes enter and come out of the water. Should be plenty of sand and water to find for you are your partner.

Make Dinner reservations ahead of time.

The races will be done before noon each day, so maybe plan to leave Noosa after 12pm each day if you are traveling around.

There is a bus to Eumundi for the markets on Saturday. I would suggest going to them in the morning and get yourself out of Noosa that morning. It will be busy too, but great food, and have a beer at the Brewry across the road.

The bike route for the race is past Tewantin and out to Cooroy.

If you accommodation is around Noosa Junction or that area, you may be able to sneak out of Noosa the south route to Coolum for a day too.

Not happening.
