UK musician who found home on the Sunshine Coast gets starring role in campaign

The Sunshine Coast in Queensland is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its naming, taking on its glitzier neighbour, the Gold Coast, with a campaign backed by a song written by an adopted local who immigrated from the UK.

UK expat Dan Horne wrote the soundtrack for the new Sunshine Coast campaign.

The massive drive to draw attention to the beach side destination centres on the song This Town written by ex-pom Dan Horne, who adopted the Sunshine Coast as his home seven years ago.
