Become your own 'King of the Mountain'. Mt Cooroora at 446m (Tuchekoi National Park), is probably the most famous of the Sunshine Coast climbs, due to the King of the Mountain race held annually in July since 1979. The fact that it is a race from the pub in town, and the best time is 22:43, gives you the false impression that this might be quite an easy climb, but you would be wrong! Take time out as you climb to enjoy the stunning views south across the Sunshine Coast and the 360° vista from the top.

This is a seldom but fun mountain to climb and in places only has a faint trail to the top. Views from there are in a westerly direction and whilst spectacular, the views to the east across the coastal plain, would have been even better, but for the scrub and trees. It's a steep and loose track, definitely not suited for those with balance issues, smaller children, etc. A section near the top has eroded/wasted away, leaving a significant drop off - be careful! The track is very clear.

A pleasant walk following a stepped track to a large plateau with two viewing platforms. One covers the west, overlooking Yandina and the Blackall Range, the other is to the east overlooking Mt Coolum.

Branch off the Coastal Walk 50m from the day-use area, and climb to the crest of Noosa Hill on the Noosa Hill Walk (limited views). Pass through shrublands dominated in places by she-oaks and grasstrees, and delicately-patterned scribbly gum forest.

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.
