How long have you lived in Mooloolah for?
I’ve lived in Mooloolah for 21 years, so my whole life.
Why did you decide to move to Mooloolah?
My family grew up on the Sunshine Coast. My mum is originally from America and moved over here. I think they lived in Nambour first before coming here.
What do you do for a living or in your spare time?
I’m a cleaner around the hinterland area.
What do you love about living in Mooloolah?
I love it here. I just love that it’s the hinterland. When you go into the coast it’s a lot more busy and just chaotic, but when you come to Mooloolah it’s just chill and there’s the bushland and you can just explore nature. I also love the community—everyone talks to each other, everyone is very nice.
Is there anything you would change about Mooloolah?
No, maybe put a little pub in somewhere, but no, I wouldn’t.
What’s your favourite spot or hidden gem?
I love the Hell Hole. It’s a little creek out in Diamond Valley. I love it out there—it’s probably my favourite part of Mooloolah.
What’s something people should know about Mooloolah, that they might not know?
Just come and you’ll find out, everyone is so welcoming.
