Hello,
We are two girls from Europe coming to Australia for holidays from 15th December to 15th January, we are planning a road trip to explore kite spots& Australian lifestyle and on a way!
Would you recommend us any must see and experience spots on a way from Melbourne to Brisbane?? Where is it worth to spend more time? We are going to have a van where we can sleep so we are pretty flexible. Flat waters would be best, or easy waves to ride ;)
Also what are the winds this time of the year, which sizes of kites would you recommend us to take?
We will appreciate any hints, tips, information!
Thx :)
The Sunshine Coast an hour and a half north of Brisbane is supa good
3 Flatwater rivermounths 
Caloundra,Cotton Tree and Noosa
Caloundra works on SE winds
Cotton Tree and Noosa on NE winds
Best on a runout tide
And epic downwinders in the surf along the beaches

Always catch up with local crew and ask for rules as we are sometimes facing local government sanctions if not followed,
so don't bugger it up for the locals!
