Fly Away - Any time:
Kooralbyn: Fly to Kooralbyn Resort, between Beaudesert and Boonah, and land on the resort's runway for breakfast.
The $29 all-you-can eat 3-course buffet breakfast is at Lilies Restaurant inside Kooralbyn Resort . Just walk through reception to the atrium. There is a breakfast choice of hot dishes, fruit, cereal and pastries.
Lilies Restaurant is an easy 5-minute walk from the runway.
For more basic and less expensive food and drink all day, every day, the Foodworks in the Kooralbyn Shopping Centre next to the runway has hot pies, coffee, cake and cold drinks.
Also, a new coffee shop tenant has opened in the shopping centre.
Caloundra: Fly into Caloundra Airport and see the Queensland Air Museum. Have breakfast at the nearby Hungry Jacks or a cooked breakfast at the Golden Beach Tavern(weekends only).
Take the bikeway/walkway into town and then pick up the boardwalk starting at Bulcock Beach for a walk right around the headland to King's Beach. Complete the circle by walking down the main street(Bulcock St) on your way out of town and back to the airport.
