Sunflower picking near Gold Coast
In September, sunflower picking is in season near Gold Coast. We list 5 farms within about 90 minutes of the city — compare seasons, prices and booking below, then call ahead to confirm what's ripe.
The closest sunflower picking to the Gold Coast is Norwell Sunflowers in Logan, roughly 45 minutes north-west of the city. Across the NSW border in Cudgen, Farm & Co is about 30 minutes south and charges $4–$5 per cut stem with no booking needed. A little further out, Ten Chain Farm at Upper Flagstone (Logan, ~50 min NW) charges a $10–$15 adult admission, and Sunflowers On Kents at Kalbar in the Scenic Rim is roughly 1 hr 15 min south-west — cut-your-own 5 stems or pre-cut bunches, booking recommended.

Sunflower blooms in south-east Queensland generally peak through winter — July to September is the prime window — with each farm's paddock flowering for only a few weeks. Booking is recommended at most farms as popular bloom weekends sell out quickly; check each farm's website or social media for confirmed event dates before you make the drive.
