Noosa | Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast to me is one of the most magical places on Earth. This region, with its diverse landscapes and vibrant communities, offers a blend of natural beauty and sustainability that deeply resonates with my values. Is has so many unique experiences within close proximity to each other. From the visually stunning Glass House Mountains and the humble townships between to over 100km of coastal foreshore, there’s plenty of space to find your special place. There’s an abundance of activities on offer and the Sunshine Coast is home to a number of unique markets and breweries. 

Known as “Queensland’s Sunshine Pantry” because of its amazing fresh, local produce supplied from over 900 producers. It's home to Australia’s only Everglades with untouched landscapes and tranquil waterways located between two UNESCO biospheres. The Sunshine Coast ticks all of the boxes where you will discover hidden gems and create memories for life!

Owner Operator
Sunset Tourist Park
Mount Isa | Outback
I have red dirt running through my veins, that’s how passionate I am about Outback Queensland. I am based in Mount Isa, where you can go from sand dunes in the south, to the gulf country in north, world class attractions in the east and knocking on the door of the NT just 200km to the west. I haven’t even started talking about everywhere in between yet! If you are looking for adventures that will stay with you for a lifetime, come and see the other side of Queensland, I’ll be sure to tell you where to go!

Manager | Broadwater Tourist Park
Business Development Manager | Caravan Park Association of Queensland
Gold Coast
When I was six years old my parents made the decision to pick up our family of 6 and take on caravan park management on the Gold Coast. Growing up within the caravanning industry, I was quick to realise that my passion and career would lead to something within the tourism industry. I graduated with a double degree in Business and International Tourism and Hotel Management in 2022. During this I undertook a few roles such as resort kids entertainment, bartending at one of the Gold Coast's busiest bars, and resort & caravan park receptionist.

In 2023, I took on a Business Development Role with the Caravan Park Association of Queensland and I now also manage the Broadwater Tourist Park on the Gold Coast with my partner. We pride ourselves on the importance of making sure every guest has an exceptional and memorable stay with us.
