Description

Experience both adrenaline-charged adventure and soul-refreshing solitude in the massive sandy wilderness of Cooloola. Sculpted over millennia by wind and water, Cooloola is a true nature escape in a stunning coastal setting. Whether you immerse yourself here for a few hours or a few days, you’ll leave with memories to treasure.

Head off on a 4WD adventure along vast stretches of shimmering coastline, fringed by cliffs of striking ochre, red and cream-coloured sands , with a spectacular backdrop of Cooloola's towering coastal sand mass. Stop to breathe in the tangy salty air and cast a line from the beach to catch dinner fresh from the sea.

Venture inland to explore the beautiful waterways of the Upper Noosa River and its tributaries, by boat, canoe or kayak. Make sure you take a camera—the calm tannin-stained waters mirror twisted paperbarks and bloodwoods against a backdrop of brilliant blue skies.

If hiking is more your style, choose a short walk, or a longer hike of several hours or, if you’re feeling adventurous, tackle multi-day Cooloola Great Walk or Wilderness trail. On foot, you’ll discover fragrant eucalypt woodlands, paperbark swaps and wildflower-sprinkled heathlands.

Witness stunning golden sunsets and rosy sunrises when you camp on the beach or beside the river or freshwater lakes. You won't want to leave!
