Mount Cooroora

Reviewed By Barry-in-Noosa - Noosa, Australia

Awesome views and a real sense of achievement at the top. I went with my 2 daughters aged 5 and 6. I wouldn't recommend this climb for young kids unless they are sensible, follow instructions and have experience with steep, challenging climbs. You really need to keep your kids very close once the steep climbing towards the top begins. If you can compare to other local mountain treks with kids, with Mt Tinbeerwah a 1 out of 10 for difficulty, Mt Ngungun a 3, Mt Coolum a 4, then this would be around 7 or 8 out of 10... but so worth it! Whenever we drive past it conjures up fantastic memories.

Obi Boardwalk

Reviewed By Cubx4

Very close to town but feels very serene. We went looking for platypus in the desperate hope of getting a glimpse....unfortunately we didn’t spot any but we did enjoy the peacefulness. Everyone that walked past us was extremely friendly. This place just brings out the best in people. Would recommend it for a quiet picnic or like us....an opportunity to try to visualise that elusive platypus.
