Sunflower picking near Sunshine Coast

Sunflower picking near the Sunshine Coast means the hinterland paddocks around Glass House Mountains and Wamuran, plus the Scenic Rim near Kalbar a little further south, all within roughly 90 minutes' drive. As with most south-east Queensland sunflower fields, the season is really a string of short bloom windows rather than one long stretch, generally falling somewhere between December and March, with each paddock flowering for only three or four weeks at a time. Picking is usually charged per stem for a cut-your-own bunch rather than a flat entry fee. Sunflower Sue's Sunflower Farm at Wamuran has run popular short seasonal openings in the past, including a well-liked 'sunset sunflowers' weekend event. Because these windows are announced close to the date, check the farm's social media before setting off.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I pick sunflowers near Sunshine Coast?

The hinterland around Glass House Mountains and Wamuran has the closest paddocks, with Kalbar in the Scenic Rim a bit further inland again. All are within about 90 minutes of the Sunshine Coast, and each farm's bloom is short-lived, so it pays to check which one currently has flowers before you drive out.

How far is sunflower picking from Sunshine Coast?

Glass House Mountains and Wamuran are both under an hour from the Sunshine Coast, making them the easiest option for a quick outing, while Kalbar in the Scenic Rim is closer to 90 minutes. Either way, it's a comfortable day trip rather than an overnight one.

When can you pick sunflowers near Sunshine Coast?

Bloom windows around the Sunshine Coast hinterland generally fall somewhere between December and March, though any single paddock only flowers for three to four weeks. Farms announce their exact opening dates closer to the time once the crop is ready, so it's worth following their social media rather than guessing a date in advance.

Do you need to book sunflower picking near Sunshine Coast?

Booking isn't always required, but weekend sessions and special events, like sunset picking evenings, can fill quickly once word gets out that a paddock is in bloom. Entry is usually a cash fee with stems charged per flower, so check the farm's current arrangements before heading out.
