The John Catsoulis photo seems to be taken from a high-rise apartment near the surf beach, looking north. In the photo, you see lower multi-story apartment buildings, dune vegetation, a lower building very near the beach is the surf club, the Pacific ocean, the Maroochy river mouth. The caravan (~ US trailer) park is on the southern (nearer) side of the river mouth but not particularly visible. North of the river is still in Maroochy Shire but not considered part of the town. There is "Pin Cushion" immediately on the north side of the river mouth, Old Woman Island out to sea. Mount Coolum seems to be visible near the top. 203.164.221.8 02:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

The photo was taken from Eloura Tower (http://www.eloueratower.com.au) at the main surf beach, and is looking north. The foreground stuff is Maroochy.

This page reads much too much like an advertisement. I've gone some way in deleting the blatantly advertisement phrases, but perhaps a rewrite is in order? OutlandishTeacup 11:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Being one of the main centres on the Sunshine Coast, it could certainly do with more "encyclopaedic" information, e.g. History, Demographics etc. I wish I knew a little more about Maroochydore... QazPlm 23:52, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I added something about Maroochydore's name, about it being part of an Aborigini name, but I'm not exactly sure so I added a "Citation Needed" because there isn't any information online about the history, because that's important too. I also corrected a few glitches. StevenT1 18:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
