Over the years, the Sunshine Coast has become a popular destination for travellers from all over Australia and the world. With its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and relaxed lifestyle, it’s easy to see why it’s an appealing choice for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

But one recent overseas visitor has caused outrage among locals with her scathing review of the area.

A British woman, who goes by Glasbyj on TikTok, was left ‘shocked’ by the reality of living on the Sunshine Coast – famously one of the country’s most beloved areas.

She revealed in a video that she expected Queensland to be a ‘hot spot’ like Europe, but was saddened when she discovered that ‘no one wants to have fun’.

She’s lived in the area for around four years, and she hinted that she’ll be leaving soon so she shared a list of all the things she hates about it.

This upset hundreds of locals and fans of the area who were quick to leave scathing comments of their own. But some Aussies agreed with the woman, and described the area as a ‘retirement village’.

Glasbyj featured seven things she believes the area is lacking, and one pet peeve she has is that ‘everywhere is closed by 8 PM’.

She revealed that she hates how it’s ‘not acceptable to walk around in bikinis’, and complained how there was ‘no nightlife’, and restaurants close by 7 PM as well. She also berated the coast’s lack of ‘open sea boat trips’ and beach bars.

Also, she admitted that what she hates the most about it is that ‘no one wants to have fun’.

‘Time for the next adventure’, she captioned in her video.

Locals were furious and left harsh comments on her account.

‘I’ve lived here my whole life. Most people day drink, drive up the beach, and absolutely wear bikinis and no shoes everywhere, along the actual coast,’ said one person.

Another woman replied: ‘Where on the Sunshine Coast? Grew up there, bikinis and thongs absolutely accepted everywhere.’

‘Well goodbye, thanks for visiting,’ wrote another.

Another suggested that if she wanted something like ‘Europe’, then she should’ve gone to Europe instead.

However, some locals agreed with her, while some said she was on the ‘wrong coast’.

‘You picked the wrong coast - gold coast is young and happening,’ commented one.

Another one shared that when they moved there in the 90s, their mum ‘burst into tears’ when she found out that supermarkets closed at 5 PM on a weekend.

While another woman said that ‘compared to the rest of the world, Australia feels like a retirement home’. And added that it’s not fun for young people, but great for older adults.

Someone else explained that people there are early risers and that the cafes open as early as 6 AM.

Should have gone to Europe if she loved it that much. Like the immigrants who do whatever to get to live here then promptly try to change our way of life to what they left behind. This is a beautiful country, great people and an amazing way of life. Shut up or ship out!!!

 

[Da Freddo]

Stupid "little minded" girls who just want to party,
What is party?? walk around streets with drink in hand yelling and wooping is their idea of party,
GET A LIFE stupid girl. The Gold Coast is for mature minded adults and the odd occasional TWIT.
Party answer, go to Ibiza there you can scream your head off with thousands of other idiots and then
go home half pissed with an S T D and pregnant.
There you've had your party "feel better now?"
Clowns like you give England a bad name!
I'm British and proud.

 

[JayKay]

My sister lives on the Sunshine Coast.
Not once have I heard any complaints about shop opening times.
Old school.....adapt to what is available.

Not to mention that smoking was allowed anywhere everywhere in Europe. Perhaps she doesn’t like pristine beaches, rain forests or clean air

I've lived on the Sunshine Coast. It has lovely relaxed atmosphere.
Lady needs to think upon WHY she left England!!! and post her comparisons if, She dares!!! Australia is not Europe thankfully, if she wants Europe then go to Europe.
We are all different and half her luck if that's all she has to moan about.

Another person still wet behind the ears who only thinks about herself and her own needs and selfish wants. Took her four years to think these things so why anyone would take notice of some small brained self entitled opinionated whinging Pom, she is an insult to those who come here and look for the positives. Go back to England, they can have you....I am sure it wont take long for you to get back on Tik Tok over there whinging again. The problem is not the Sunny Coast, the problem is your selfishness self centred attitude. I personally cannot stand these self appointed 'INFLUENCERS". My God they are in their twenties and have never experienced the hardship of life and going without.

Over the years, the Sunshine Coast has become a popular destination for travellers from all over Australia and the world. With its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and relaxed lifestyle, it’s easy to see why it’s an appealing choice for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

But one recent overseas visitor has caused outrage among locals with her scathing review of the area.

A British woman, who goes by Glasbyj on TikTok, was left ‘shocked’ by the reality of living on the Sunshine Coast – famously one of the country’s most beloved areas.

She revealed in a video that she expected Queensland to be a ‘hot spot’ like Europe, but was saddened when she discovered that ‘no one wants to have fun’.

She’s lived in the area for around four years, and she hinted that she’ll be leaving soon so she shared a list of all the things she hates about it.

This upset hundreds of locals and fans of the area who were quick to leave scathing comments of their own. But some Aussies agreed with the woman, and described the area as a ‘retirement village’.

Glasbyj featured seven things she believes the area is lacking, and one pet peeve she has is that ‘everywhere is closed by 8 PM’.

She revealed that she hates how it’s ‘not acceptable to walk around in bikinis’, and complained how there was ‘no nightlife’, and restaurants close by 7 PM as well. She also berated the coast’s lack of ‘open sea boat trips’ and beach bars.

Also, she admitted that what she hates the most about it is that ‘no one wants to have fun’.

‘Time for the next adventure’, she captioned in her video.

Locals were furious and left harsh comments on her account.

‘I’ve lived here my whole life. Most people day drink, drive up the beach, and absolutely wear bikinis and no shoes everywhere, along the actual coast,’ said one person.

Another woman replied: ‘Where on the Sunshine Coast? Grew up there, bikinis and thongs absolutely accepted everywhere.’

‘Well goodbye, thanks for visiting,’ wrote another.

Another suggested that if she wanted something like ‘Europe’, then she should’ve gone to Europe instead.

However, some locals agreed with her, while some said she was on the ‘wrong coast’.

‘You picked the wrong coast - gold coast is young and happening,’ commented one.

Another one shared that when they moved there in the 90s, their mum ‘burst into tears’ when she found out that supermarkets closed at 5 PM on a weekend.

While another woman said that ‘compared to the rest of the world, Australia feels like a retirement home’. And added that it’s not fun for young people, but great for older adults.

Someone else explained that people there are early risers and that the cafes open as early as 6 AM.

Ice and snow forecast for London today. Miserable weather in winter in UK. Glasbyj is welcome to it. Sunshine Coast from Noosa to Caloundra and the Hinterland is simply stunning. More choice of night life on the Gold Coast if that is what you are looking for.
