Dive the Brisbane and experience this historical treasure and budding environmental wonder. The ex-HMAS Brisbane Conservation Park is an artificial reef and dive site off the Sunshine Coast, and is set to become one of Australia's premier dive attractions. This is the only former Navy dive wreck in Australia offering divers the unique opportunity to explore both the forward engine room and the boiler room. A former missile destroyer, the HMAS Brisbane, was scuttled 2.8 nautical miles east of Mudjimba Island on 31 July 2005 to begin its new life as the 'anchor' attraction for dive tourism in Southern Queensland. Divers can explore the 133 metre former warship and view different areas of the ship. Access holes allow passage into the ship's interior, where divers can swim through living and sleeping quarters used by the crew during the ship’s service from 1967 to 2001.

Now here's a fun attraction for all ages, from little kids to grandparents! There's the huge garden maze to find your way around, and new to the maze in 2011 is an 18 hole, par two mini golf course! Then there's a tyre maze, rope maze and two tile puzzle mazes! For more brain teasing fun, play with the metal and wooden brain-teasing puzzles in the cafe, and if you can't figure it out buy one from the puzzle shop, it stocks a great range of puzzles and intriguing Klutz interactive books. Bellingham Maze is an outdoor attraction so pack a picnic lunch or relax with an espresso coffee or Devonshire tea in the tea house. Be sure to check out the huge walk through aviary housing around 100 beautiful birds. This place is also fantastic for team building with programs for groups that want a low-impact team challenge. It's great for school visits and vacation care groups. There is also Snow White and her cottage and a fun hunt to find the seven dwarves. It's an interactive place and adults are encouraged to accompany their children through the maze and join in the activities with the kids.
