Where to meet singles
Not every first meeting starts online. These are real places and groups where people get talking.
Join a BushCare group
Sunshine Coast Council has over 30 BushCare groups from the coast to the hinterland, with monthly working bees of two to three hours. No experience is needed, tools are provided, and there is morning tea and social events through the year.

Volunteer with a surf life saving club
Surf Life Saving Queensland clubs welcome volunteers, and roles such as Observer or First Aid Officer do not need you to be a strong swimmer. You patrol with the same club members each season, which is a good way to make friends.

Walk with a local bushwalking club
Bushwalking Queensland lists the Sunshine Coast Bushwalking Club and the Glasshouse Bushwalkers Club among its member clubs. Group walks are a relaxed way to meet people who like the outdoors.
