This is a point of interest page of all the places to visit when visiting Noosa QLD. Feel free to let us know if we have missed anything.
Perched high in the Noosa hinterland you’ll find arguably some of the most spectacular views on the Sunshine Coast. The first 150 meters of the walking track are paved and lead to a lookout which gives a great view of Noosa and Laguna Bay. Although a little lumpy with a slight incline, it is entirely manageable to push a wheelchair or pram on this stretch. From here the track becomes interesting, and is an incredibly fun walk.
Scrambling over the rhyolite rock surface, there are numerous vantage points along the way. It brings out the adventurer and makes reaching the next lookout feel like an achievement. At the summit there is a small fire tower to climb, and you will be blown away by the incredible 360 degree views. Don’t forget to pack the camera! You’ll find Mt Tinbeerwah on Tinbeerwah Road at Tinbeerwah, which is about 90 minutes north of Brisbane.
The simplest way to get there is to take the Bruce Highway north, using the Cooroy exit. Follow Cooroy Connection Road, turn right onto Elm Street at the train bridge, then after the service station turn right onto Diamond Street. This road eventually changes names to Cooroy-Noosa Road, which you’ll follow for about 10 minutes. On the approach to Tinbeerwah Road you will see a brown tourist sign pointing to the left, so follow this road all the way to the end. Partway along it does become a graded road and is very tight. It is passable in a two wheel drive vehicle in fair weather.
Situated on 125 acres of native bushland, the Noosa Outdoor Education Centre is now managed by Queensland Conference and Camping Centres and available for school, church and youth group bookings. With a rich heritage hosting hundreds of camps, the property marks a serene corner of coastal Queensland.
