Default Sunshine Coast, Bowdens and The Big Pinapple

A couple of questions for the locals up there.....

Where is Bowdens HQ ?... I checked their site but no details, directions etc.

Do they do tours for the general public or is it function/group type tours only ?.

Is the Big Pineapple still operating ?, the last time I was there rumour was that it would be closing,

Looks like it's going to be phone call time as there is no useful info on either their site or Facebook page....other than a P.O. Box number !!

I know there in Buderim...............but where?

It's not that big of a place , Buderim. When you get to the top of the hill just ask a local ;-)
It's not opened to the public normally, it is thru invitation and car clubs.............

Or you can buy a $10,000 bucket of their cleaning scrubbing goop which has two tickets inside from what I believe. Look here buckets galore with free tickets to the open days. http://www.bowdensown.com.au/super-size Some car clubs have organised tours too. Didn't AFF have a day up there once?

Big Pineapple is up and going. They have markets on there but cant remember what days.

Seems like a bit of cash has been injected back into it.
