Quick spots to visit between BNE and Australia Zoo or nearby?

Hi all!

My husband and I are arriving into Brisbane to check out the Australia Zoo. It’s part of our honeymoon trip to Australia and New Zealand, we’ve never been anywhere on this side of the world (from canada) and are very excited.

We’re arriving early in the morning to the Brisbane airport and mainly staying around the Zoo, however we’ll have the drive over to the Zoo and a couple evenings to explore around the area.

Wondering if there’s anything in particular either in Brisbane, on the drive to the Zoo, or in the Beerwah/Sunshine Coast area that’s worth a stop? We don’t have a ton of time but would particularly love any recommendations on quick foods, breweries, nice lookouts, or spots that are worth spending 30-60 minutes at to supplement our time in the region.

Thanks all, appreciate it!
