I was pleasantly surprised to discover this gorgeous new store when I visited the Sunshine Coast Hinterland last week. Opposite the Beerburrum State School and next door to the Post Office you'll find the unusually named Aransisari. When last I was in Beerburrum the business here was a second hand bookshop. New books, together with a splendid variety of gifts, can be found at Aranisari.

Aranisari specialize in eastern style spiritual items and gifts. You'll find a nice variety of clothes, polished stones, incense, candles and a myriad of other items. Particularly impressive was the corner of the store with orange items only. Unfortunately these must be part of the proprietors collection and weren't for sale.

When next you travel down the Steve Irwin Way give yourself a treat and turn off at the Beerburrum/Caboolture exit. Only a hundred metres or so away, and just over the railway bridge, you'll find this excellent new business.

Approximate cost: $From $1.00
