This is a stunning part of Australia. There are miles of beautiful beaches with natural forests that come down the the beachs. Plenty of places to chill-out.

At Cooberrie Park Wildlife Sanctuary our friends become yours. Enjoy a day with our friendly residents. Pet, feed and interact with kangaroos, koalas, possums, birds, snakes, reptiles, and a whole lot more! Cooberrie Park is a wildlife sanctuary and takes care of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife that are then rehabilitated and released back to the wild. These animals are victims of car hits, dog and cat attacks, along with birds falling out of nests, sick and abandoned animals. Once recuperated, Cooberrie Park permanently houses wildlife that can't be released back to the wild and houses rescued animals from all across Australia, including animals from the RSPCA along with confiscated illegal wildlife. OUR HISTORY... Cooberrie Park began as a botanical garden more than 100 years ago. There are a number of very old European and South American trees at the park, as the original owner was a European Botanist. Then, 45 years ago animals started to arrive and visitors were able to visit and interact with the wildlife. To this day, Cooberrie Park has adopted the same ethos inviting visitors to get up close and interact with a wide range of animals. Cooberrie Park is open plan and the kangaroos have 25 acres to explore!

You can see how much the family who runs the Sanctuary cares about the animals. Rangers and staff are always friendly and happy to help and talk and answer questions; very knowledgeable about Aussie natives. Plenty of space for animals to roam around and interact with people but also shelter if they don't feel like it. The enclosures for the ones that have to be enclosed are large and spacious and when you can watch any of the animals have their meals, their food is amazing and plentiful (better than what most people eat!). The grounds themselves are beautiful and you really can spend the whole day here. The prices here are cheap and although due to current Covid restrictions you can't do any animal encounters yet, they would otherwise be an extremely good deal considering there are really no other places to hold a koala! I would go there every weekend if I could. Thank you guys for caring so much about Australian animals.

The Capricorn Coast Pineapple Rail Trail is a flat, 8.5 km (return from Braithwaite St) asphalt trail. It is perfect for walkers, joggers, bikes and scooters. It was nice to ponder on the history of the trail and the daily train commutes while walking.

Great climb to an awesome view. A sense of achievement when you reach the top of Mount Jim Crow. Well worth the adventure.

Very nice relaxed beach. Lots of space and freedom for all at low tide. Very picturesque location. Kids had a blast running around and throwing the ball while the wife and I lapped up some sun.
7. Farnborough Beach

No crowds, miles of beach combing, swimming, fishing, walking the dog, riding the horse or building sandcastles with the kids. The beach is only 10 - 15 minutes north of Yeppoon and really safe to swim at. You can park your car at the top or drive down the ramp and head north in your 4 wheel drive.
