While visiting Noosa twice last year in January and June I did a lot of bushwalking through their pristine National Park. We have quite a few National Parks here in NSW but none of them compare to this stunning treasure. They were updating the walkways into the National Park when I was there in June last year, but I personally found their walkways were well maintained when I was there previously in January 2018. There is wheel chair access for the disabled and also well paved walking track for families with young children with prams and also the elderly. The best part of this pristine National Park walk are the beaches you come across on your way up which are Tea Tree Bay, Granite Bay and further into the National Park (depends on your fitness level) is the beautiful Alexandria Bay. And before you venture into this beautiful National Park make sure you stop into the Kiosk located at the information centre within the National Park, they make the best coffee ???? I have tasted in Noosa. Seriously a great pick me up for your long walk up into this pristine treasure. Absolutely loved it.

Decided to visit this scenic lookout after visiting Cooroy. Definitely worth the side trip and the views are spectacular from the top. Approximately 400 metres from car park up a well maintained walk way.

Will reuire high clearance 4x4. 3 river crossings to day area. Not so easy when normal cars park in road before crossing leaves very little room to get past. Some drivers dont slow down or move over but it is mostly well attended. The river looked good. Was swimming hole walking tracks picnic areas. Will have to come back to walk to falls. Very surprised at how good it was. Well worth a visit. Caming available need to pre book. First 2 camps i believe are just for tent but there is one for camper trailers further around. Wl come back soon.

Wonderful relaxing walk around the Mount Tibrogargan circuit track. Takes one and a half hours on an easily negotiated pathway . Some steps clearly identified with gradual slopes. Fantastic views and even a few well positioned informative signs and seating to enjoy the scenery. Watch out for monitor lizards!
5. Dularcha National Park

This hidden gem is not even known to all locals! We usually start walking at the Mooloolah end down past the IGA and towards the left. There is a council board showing you the walk and what to see. It travels along the old Rail line until you get to Landsborough and on the way you go through the Old Rail Tunnel which is pretty dark inside and you will probably see bats! It has a fair bit of shade as you walk with trees all around you though the ground is rough at times- not suited to a wheelchair but a pram will make most of it ok. You will usually be the only ones in there so enjoy the peace and quiet which gets interrupted by passing trains on the current line right next to you!

We came out to kondalilla after going into Noosa and not wanting to deal with the amount of people at the nation park and town. Great choice, it was Friday afternoon and plenty of car parks available. Greeted with a large grassed area for picnics and rest areas, with well maintained amenities and picnic tables on the edge of the bush land. The walk consisted of well maintained and signed tracks, the waterfall is 85 metres high and the gorge it runs into is breathtaking. With a great pool area at the top of the waterfall for bathing. Defiantly recommend 10/10.

Reviewed By Aus_Wickies - Brisbane, Australia
Parking can be tricky when it's busy. Toilets at the entrance to the park. There is a 1.2km circuit walk through some beautiful rainforest area, which leads from a small picnic area. This is flat and quite easy but you may wish to take some insect repellent. Longer and more demanding walk down to the base of the falls.
