Steve try new estates in your area, the bitumen is very nice, and the roads generally are not very steep, also look around at night, in housing estates most have plenty of street lights and it is easier to see cars coming, and traffic is a lot less at this time and wear light colour clothing as cars can see it easier. if you are around kawana try some where like Brightwater (have not skated it but could be a good spot for begginers). wear a helmet and have fun.

Hey dude where abouts on the sunshine coast are you? Me and my mates skate the coast all the time ( we live here) and can point you in the right direction.

if there's a parking lot in your immediate area that's good, unless you're talking about DH, not just learning how to skate, if you ARE talking about DH, I'd suggest just going and looking around for small hills on your board.
