(TRAVPR.COM) AUSTRALIA - March 6th, 2013 - Get in early to escape the rush for an Easter school holiday break at Caloundra on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Caloundra is a popular family-friendly destination and, with the school holidays following on from the Easter break, is sure to attract strong interest for an extended stay this year.

Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd (SCDL) Tourism Development Manager Anthony Johnston said the Caloundra region offered a diverse range of accommodation to suit all budgets.

“The Easter holiday break this year is expected to be a busy time with many school and university mid-term breaks coinciding with this traditional family holiday getaway,” Mr Johnston said.

“The best value places to stay always go quickly and because of this don’t leave your accommodation booking enquiry too late because you might miss out on your preferred location.”

Caloundra is very accessible by road and air. Sunshine Coast Airport offers direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne, while Brisbane airport is only an hour away.
