The Sunshine Coast has found its heart beating a little faster over the past few weeks as the search for the region’s most eligible bachelor heats up.
Three contenders have started to draw away from the pack of more than 65 so let’s get to know the top trio a little better.
John Calcino
John Calcino is the sole owner of the famous Maroochydore nightclub, “Posty”.
“I started it in 2014 where the old Maroochydore Post Office was located,” he said.
“I’ve lived on the Sunshine Coast for 30 years.”
The nightclub owner was born in Charleville, in south-west Queensland and he went to boarding school for six years at Toowoomba Grammar School.
He then obtained a business degree from the University of Southern Queensland.
“I moved up here to the Sunny Coast in 1995 after living and working in Brisbane and London,” he said.
“On the Sunny Coast, I worked in property development with Reed Property Group until 2014.
“I started my next project, the Post Office Bar and Nightclub in 2014.
Mr Calcino lives in Buderim and in a woman he looks for kindness, politeness, empathy and someone who is family orientated.
Basil Harris
Next up is 85-year-old legend Basil Harris who has volunteered in rugby circles for more than 35 years.
He volunteers about 25 hours a week at Maroochydore Swans Rugby Union and others who put him forward say he is an advocate for women and girls in the sport.
Mr Harris arrived on the Sunshine Coast in 1991 and said “maybe someone who likes rugby” would be his perfect match.
“And can put up with someone who is getting cranky at his age,” he said.
Elliott McKean
Elliott was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast and has lived at Shelly Beach in Caloundra for most of his life.
“I’m an insurance broker here on the Sunshine Coast,” he said.
Mr McKean said he enjoyed the Sunshine Coast lifestyle including cycling, our cafe culture, the beach and travelling.
“So I guess I would say a partner that enjoys similar as me,” he said.
