A short boardwalk beside Obi Obi Creek, that connects the town with the showground.
From boardwalk to beach, this short walk leads through forest to a peaceful stretch of beach away from the nearby towns.
On a hot day, escape the sun for the densely-shaded rainforest on the Palm Grove Walk. Stroll along this short walk beneath the shade of elegant hoop pines and piccabeen palms. This circuit starts from the day-use area, near the toilet block.
Fantastic little adventure to this secluded beach cave, only accessible at low tide
This is currently the southernmost start of the Sunshine Coast Coastal Pathway (SCCP) as it winds its way along the shoreline on the inside of Bribie Island. This section is very popular with visitors enjoying various water sports and with great views across Punicestone Passage.
A circular walk in the southern end of Maroochy Botanic Garden, on a natural rough track with creek crossings that passes through a range of ecosystems including eucalypt open forest and riparian rainforest.
This walk is part of the Conondale Great Walk and follows Booloomba Creek. You walk through subtropical rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest. There is abundant birdlife along the path as well as goannas and skinks. The cascades is a great place to have a swim after the long walk to get there. You can also take a couple of side tracks along the way to the Strangler Cairn and the gold mine.
Went here after work one day with my wife, it was so relaxing to just walk in the creek and spend some quality time away from the coast.
This can be done in 1 day if fit and keen enough or make it a 2 dayer as part of the Conondale Great Walk. . Great weekender hike if you like to camp too. Starting from the Booloumba Creek day use area hike up past the Artist Cascades then onto Booloumba Falls following to the Wongai walkers camp. Maps state that its 11km, but the GPS marked it out at 12.1km. Returning back the way you came. And best of all its most down hill for the return trip.
Walk through tall open forest and discover this scenic creek's cascades, waterfalls and rock pools. At the junction of Peters and Booloumba creeks view The Breadknife rock formation. Swim in the pools at the base of the falls with its beautiful cool mountain water on a hot summers day
