Listen to the sounds of Australian summer—cicadas humming, weathered bark crackling underfoot, laughing kookaburras and waves breaking gently on the beach.

Hike for days on a Great Walk or take a short stroll to scenic lookouts where you can soak up epic mountain views and coastal scenery.

Venture deep into the green hinterland, beneath ancient trees and rainforest vines, letting nature’s healing power rejuvenate your spirit.

Seek adventure—at your own pace, in your own style. Hit the trails mountain biking, rumble down 4WD roads, dip your toes in cool rainforest pools or relax with a gourmet picnic beside a waterfall.

Reconnect with nature on a camping escape. Pitch your tent or pull up your caravan and swap the city lights for stars.

Appreciate stories of the First Nations peoples of this land. Imagine a traditional lifestyle of hunting and gathering this rich coastal bounty—feasts and ceremonies bringing people together.

Welcome to

Sunshine Coast and hinterland parks Jinibara and Kabi Kabi peoples welcome you to the protected areas of the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland. Parks and forests within this area are of traditional and contemporary significance to both groups, who have an active role in looking after the values for future generations. We hope you will enjoy your visit and respect the sacred places you visit.

Welcome to the stunning natural beauty of these incredible parks! Immerse yourself in the beautiful coastal fringes of rugged headlands, fragile sand dunes, mangrove-lined creeks and blooming heathland, then venture to the enticing hinterland for tranquil forests, rambling rocky creeks, mesmerising waterfalls and breathtaking views of ancient volcanic intrusions. Come and see what we see!

Enjoy a walk with the family on the Tibrogargan circuit

Plan your getawayWhether you visit for a day or holiday for a week, you’ll be swept up by the Sunshine Coast’s laidback way of life. Kick off your shoes and squeeze sand between your toes. Bathe in the glow of morning sun and rippling waves—you’ll feel like a local in no time.

Best time to visitThe Sunshine Coast boasts an almost

perfect year-round climate. Autumn and

spring are the best times to visit, with day

temperatures averaging 25°C on the coast

and the hinterland tending to be a degree

or two cooler. Summer temperatures can

soar above 30°C with afternoon storms

rolling in, so plan your activities during

cooler and earlier parts of the day. During

winter, daytime temperatures are still

warm with 20°C averages on the coast.

Light winter frosts can occur in the

hinterland with temperatures dropping

below 0°C, so pack a warm jacket!

Best way to visitThe best way to visit is with the freedom

of your own vehicle. Most parks are

accessible by 2WD. Bellthorpe National

Park, Conondale National Park and some

parts of Mapleton National Park are the

exception and require a 4WD. Some coastal

parks have bus services that stop nearby.

Add some local flavourMake the most of your visit and time your

holiday with a local regional event.

Choose from country shows, fishing

competitions, mountain-bike rides and

races, sailing and swimming events,

and music, food and cultural festivals.

There is something happening at all

times of the year, so join the fun!

Visit visitsunshinecoast.com.au/events

Guided toursIf your time is limited or you prefer

someone else to do the planning,

you can join a guided tour with an

experienced and friendly local.

From half-day visits to multi-day

excursions, tour providers cater for

special interests and can take you

to less-visited corners of our parks.

Visit queensland.com for details

of tour providers. When booking

your tour, look for the ECO Certified

logo. For more information visit

Fringed lily© Ross Naumann, QPWS Volunteer

Wind your way along the stunning

rocky coastline, watching surfers

catch early morning breaks, dolphins

gliding through sparkling waves, and

koalas snoozing in the eucalypts

above. Covering 2,883ha, the park has

a diversity of landscapes for you to

explore. The hardest part is choosing

where to start!

With its beautiful and iconic mixture of beach and forest, Noosa National Park is one for the bucket list—a natural gem you simply must visit.

Must dos• Take a morning walk along the

Coastal track 3 savouring the

breathtaking views.

• Walk through a kaleidoscope of colour

in late winter and spring, when coastal

heathland bursts into flower.

• Visit nearby Weyba Creek

Conservation Park for a walk along the

boardwalk to explore mangroves and

discover wildlife.

Getting thereNoosa is 160km north of Brisbane via

the Bruce Highway M1 and the Sunshine

Motorway Route 70. There are 4 main

sections—Noosa Headland, Peregian,

Emu Mountain and East Weyba.

Things to do

Wildlife spottingFlowering heath areas in the park are a great

place to watch birdlife. Look for lace monitors,

honeyeaters and koalas in trees near the walking

tracks and picnic area, or walk to Hells Gate or

Dolphin Point at Noosa Headland to spot a turtle

or see dolphins cruising the waves. Nearby,

Weyba Creek Conservation Park is great at low

tide for crabs and other tidal area wildlife.

PicnickingHave a family picnic overlooking beautiful

Laguna Bay with its sweeping views from Noosa

to Cooloola. Picnic tables, electric barbecues,

drinking water and public toilets are provided in

Noosa Headland at the end of Park Road.

Travel to the heart of historical timber-getting country, on hoof, foot or wheel, and explore dry open forests on the hills and moist tall eucalypt forests and rainforests along the creeks and gullies.

Imagine a past with voices echoing

‘timber!’ as huge cedar, beech, blackbutt

and tallowwood trees were felled in this

forest from the late 1800s. Logging ceased

in 1996 and it was declared conservation

park in 2009 to protect the forest and

wildlife. Walk, mountain bike or horse ride

on a network of shared trails, with the

piercing call of eastern whipbirds echoing

in the forest and bearded dragons basking

in the sunshine.

Places to go 1 Blackbutt trail

2.3km one way from Eumundi Road gate to

Seib Road gate.

Pass through blackbutt, pink bloodwood

and brushbox forest before taking a break

at the old cattle yard and dam.

2 Geebung circuit 3.6km return from Seib Road gate.

6.1km return from Eumundi Road gate.

9.3km return from North Arm gate.

Explore hills, creeks and gullies along

• For a slower pace enjoy a leisurely horseride or walk on one of the four wide shared trails.

Getting thereAccess the main entrance at Radar Hill Road by taking the Parklands exit off the Bruce Highway about 4km north of Nambour and 5km south of Yandina.

Things to do Mountain biking

Riders can choose from 13 purpose-built

mountain bike trails that vary in length and

difficulty. See qld.gov.au/Parklands for

detailed mountain bike trails map.

2 Easy grade trails for the whole family

(totalling 3.8km).

8 Intermediate trails (totalling 24km).

3 Difficult grade trails offer a

challenging ride for experienced

riders (totalling 1.6km).

Shared trails

Four shared trails offer options for mountain

bikers (Intermediate or Difficult); horseriders

(Class 2 or 3). All are Grade 4 walks.

1 Rocky Creek circuit

5.4km return from Radar Hill entrance.

Sections with steep grades, slippery

when wet.

A grassy forest floor, with trees including

tallowwood, bloodwood and casuarina

on the high ridges, is typical of this trail.

There is also scribbly gum forest with

bracken fern, and in protected, moist gullies

palm groves grow.

2 Komine circuit

11km return from Radar Hill entrance.

Section with extremely steep grades (more

than 15%) that requires riders to dismount.

Wind through open scribbly gum forest.

This challenging trail includes large sections

with little shade.

The trails lead you through tall

eucalypt forest and rainforest, past

rocky platforms and steep gorges.

Some trails have creek crossings and

switchbacks that wind you through the

fern understorey. Plan your activities

for the cooler parts of the day, as trails

through the dry open forest can be hot

and exposed. Cooler winter months are

the best time to visit.

Parklands Conservation Park

You may encounter 2 emus

in the park. For the birds safety and

This park protects a significant area of

montane heath on the mountain peak and

includes important pockets of wallum,

paperbark wetlands, open eucalypt

forest and rainforest remnants that have

otherwise largely disappeared from this

part of Queensland.

Things to do

Wildlife spottingSee honeyeaters darting through the

montane heath, while peregrine falcons,

the world’s fastest animal, dive-bomb at up

to 200km per hour on the hunt for prey. In

winter and spring, migrating whales can be

spied from the summit, breaching offshore.

Must dos • Get a natural high on a steep trek

up the volcanic peak 1 .

• Sit quietly and sketch or

photograph wildflowers.

• Look for passing whales during the

annual winter migration.

Getting there

Access is from David Low Way, 3km

north of Marcoola and 6km south of

Coolum Beach. Turn into Tanah Street

to reach the car park.

Places to go

1 Mount Coolum summit walk

1.6km return (2hr)

Trek upwards through woodlands and

shrublands to low montane heath—a

threatened plant community surviving on

this exposed summit. This walk has many

steps so make sure you are fit enough for

the challenge.

(right); a peregrine falcon (top)Photos: © Ross Naumann, QPWS volunteer

SafetyNever attempt the Mount Coolum

summit walk in wet weather—rock

surfaces become dangerously slippery.

Encounter a sunrise like never before from the impressive green-cloaked dome of Mount Coolum, 208m above the Sunshine Coast lowlands. With spectacular 360 degree views of the coast and hinterland, it’s time to brush off your walking boots, get prepared and start hiking!

Mount Coolum, in the traditional

lands of the Kabi Kabi people, has very

high spiritual and cultural significance.

Please respect the park’s cultural and

conservation values by looking after

this precious area and leaving no

evidence of your visit.

Explore rugged terrain framing picturesque cascades and creeks in this historic park with a forestry past. Rumble along gravel roads in your 4WD, tackling water crossings, hill climbs and descents into open eucalypt forest and rainforest.

Must dos • Picnic beside the beautiful

rock pool and gentle sounds of cascading water at Stony Creek day-use area 1

• Experienced drivers can enjoy a low-range, high-clearance 4WD trip along Branch Creek Road with rocky climbs and picturesque creek crossings.

Getting thereThe park is about 85km north-west of Brisbane and west of the Glass House Mountains. Follow the D’Aguilar Highway west through Woodford township and take the Stony Creek Road exit, following signs to Stony Creek day-use area.

Sheltered pockets of vine and rainforest in

this park provide precious habitat for elegant

treefrogs and whipbirds. Stand quietly—you

might hear a male whipbird’s high-pitched ‘whip

and crack’ call, closely followed by a female’s

sharp ‘choo-choo’.

Things to do Scenic driving

Several roads in the park offer challenging and

stunningly-scenic low range, high clearance 4WD

opportunities for experienced four-wheel-drivers.

Remnants of Brandons timber sawmill can be

seen on West Bellthorpe Road. Some roads can

only be traversed in dry weather so pay attention

to the signs and never cross flooded trails.

Bellthorpe National Park

Trails and roads west of Brandons Road are very steep. To venture here you need to be very experienced in traversing steep terrain.

Walking, mountain biking and horseriding

Mountain bikers and horseriders can

embark on adventure riding trails in the

SEQ horse trail network. Visit qld.gov.au/HorseTrails for information. Mountain-

bike riders can also access management

roads in the park unless otherwise signed.

Places to go

1 Stony Creek day-use area

Stop and enjoy a picnic at this beautiful

creek-side site—toilets, picnic tables and

wood barbecues are provided.

Be enchanted as you walk beneath changing forest canopies—see candlestick banksias blooming bright yellow, rainbow lorikeets peeking from tree hollows, and spectacular views that stretch to the horizon.

Things to do Bushwalking

Enjoy bushwalks to lookouts and

through the forests around the

mountains. For families, the Mount

Ngungun summit walk 2 is a

adventurous walk with spectacular

bird’s-eye views of nearby Tibrogargan,

Beerwah and Coonowrin. For an extra

challenge and feeling of remoteness trek

along the Yul-yan-man track 5 , taking

in the views on the Trachyte Ridge.

Must dos• Drop into the Glass House Mountains

Visitor Centre for more ideas on places to explore.

• Visit Glass House Mountains lookout

3 to the west in Beerburrum State Forest for a spectacular view of all the Glass House Mountains’ peaks or at the many vantage points along the local roads.

• Explore many walks around the peaks. Behold the striking monument of Organ Pipes—viewable from Beerwah day-use area 1 —where volcanic magma has cooled and cracked into impressive hexagonal columns.

• Walk, horse or bike ride into the shadows of a historic rail tunnel in nearby Dularcha National Park and imagine a time when puffs of steam and the sounds of ‘clickety-clack’ filled the passage.

Getting thereThe Glass House Mountains area is about 70km north of Brisbane. Follow the Bruce Highway to the Glass House Mountains tourist drive exit and follow the signs to the park. Each recreation node—Beerburrum, Beerwah, Ngungun and Tibrogargan—has a different access road.

Summit routesDuring your visit consider enjoying views of

the mountains from the many walking track

vantage points rather than climbing the

mountains. Jinibara and Kabi Kabi peoples

do not climb these mountains as they have

great cultural significance and ask visitors

also to refrain from climbing the mountains.

If you decide to ascend, note that only

experienced, very fit and well-prepared

climbers can reach the summits of Beerwah

and Tibrogargan. These summit routes are

extremely challenging, with exposed rocky

sections, steep cliffs and areas requiring

rock scrambling and climbing skills. If you

are inexperienced or have young children,

these climbing routes are not for you.

Pause and imagine the powerful forces that forged the towering volcanic plugs that rise dramatically above the surrounding scenic patchwork of pine plantations, bush and farmland. Reflect on their deep spiritual significance to the Jinibara and Kabi Kabi people, for whom these mountains and surrounding plains are home.

Kondalilla—a First Nations peoples word

meaning ‘rushing water’—aptly describes

the park’s main waterfall plummeting

90m into the rainforest valley below.

Navigate the steep curving steps

carefully down to the viewpoint to see the

gushing falls in all its glory. Be captivated

by the verdant rainforest buzzing with

sounds and flickers of wildlife all around.

Things to do

Wildlife spotting

Possums, pademelons, wallabies,

goannas, platypus, echidnas and

more than 107 bird species live in the

sheltered rainforests of the Blackall

Ranges. Watch for goannas and water

dragons wandering the tracks as often as

we do! Sling your camera strap over your

shoulder and capture images worthy of

David Attenborough’s attention.

Must dos• Discover the subtropical, boulder-

strewn oasis at the base of the

falls—well worth the walk down.

• Explore the nearby parks and

villages or check out the Great Walk

for next time you visit.

• For a leisurely walk a short bitumen

track leads to picturesque Picnic

Creek Falls.

Getting thereThe park is about 103km north of

Brisbane near Montville. Follow

Montville–Mapleton Road and turn

into Kondalilla Falls Road.

Picnicking

A 100m downhill walk with steps leads

from the car park to a large grassed

picnic area featuring barbecue facilities,

picnic tables and toilets. The walking

tracks start from this area.

Places to campNo vehicle-accessible camping is available

in Kondalilla National Park. Camping is

only permitted at Flaxton walkers’ camp

—a bush camp provided especially for walkers

on the 58km Sunshine Coast Hinterland

Great Walk. For more information visit

qld.gov.au/SunshineCoastGreatWalk

Places to go1 Picnic Creek circuit

1.7km return (45min–1hr)

Meander through cool, dappled eucalypt

forest with patches of rainforest and see an

exquisite small waterfall and cascades. Linger

to enjoy views over the valley from a lookout.

2 Kondalilla Falls circuit

4.7km return (2–3hr)

Walk through rainforest and open forest to a

cool rock pool at the top of the falls. Descend

into lush rainforest as you walk down to the

valley for the best waterfall view. What goes

down must come back up! There are over 300

stairs on the Kondalilla Falls circuit so you

need to be reasonably fit and allow enough

time to enjoy this steep walk.

While the waterfall cascades

all year round, it is thundering and

spectacular during the summer

rainy season, dying to a gentle

trickle in the drier winter months.

Explore a magical landscape, complete with reflective rock pools, little cascades, twisting paths and tree hollow homes for local wildlife.

Conondale National ParkDiscover subtropical rainforest tucked

into the rugged Conondale mountain

ranges. Magnificent forests, deep

gorges and spectacular views make

this 35,500ha park a wondrous

place to visit and the perfect day-trip

adventure for the whole family.

adventures wandering through one of

the largest remnants of subtropical

rainforest in south east Queensland.

mountain streams where frogs call

into the night. Sense the significance

of this landscape to the Traditional

Owners—the Kabi Kabi people—who

have walked these high mountains and

valleys for thousands of years.

buttress roots in Imbil State Forest.

Look for long scratch marks on tree

trunks—a sign of scrambling lace

monitors. Say g’day to kookaburras

near the Charlie Moreland picnic and

camping areas before heading out on

an adventure through hoop pine

plantation and native forest.

Conondale Great Walk

Slow down on a Great WalkFor those wishing to really get to know the hinterland, 2 magnificent Great Walk adventures are on offer. Spend a few days immersed in nature with your walking boots and binoculars discovering the lush green paradise of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Tackling a Great Walk is a memorable

bushwalking experience. If you’re after

something a little easier, choose short

half-day and full-day walks within

both Great Walk routes. Physically fit

and experienced bushwalkers who are

properly prepared and safety aware

can bring camping gear and spend

up to 4 days walking an entire Great

Walk—really get away from it all.

Before heading off on a Great Walk

be sure to research online, follow the

Great Walks pack list, purchase a

copy of a Great Walk topographic

map and book your camping sites.

To purchase a topographic map visit
