The honey scent from flowering bushes hits you before the view does. A 400-metre walk from the carpark, mostly paved with stretches of flat granite boulders, puts you above the entire Noosa hinterland in under 15 minutes. From the top, the Glass House Mountains anchor one horizon while the Sunshine Coast stretches out to the other. Weekends bring abseilers working the cliff edges, which adds a certain energy to an otherwise quiet summit. Come at sunrise or sunset when the light does the heavy lifting. Parking is limited and shade is scarce, so bring water and a hat. The cliff edges are largely unfenced, worth knowing if you have children in tow. March flies are a genuine nuisance in warmer months, so plan accordingly.

Great lookout, 3km bitumen road in from the main road to the carpark, then an easy (if reasonable fit) 400m walk on a well-defined track to the lookout. Near the top there are abseilers doing their thing on the weekends. From the lookout you have an expansive view of Noosa and surrounds, even on a cloudy day. Sadly, we had to shorten our time there after being attacked by march flies. This lookout would be best experienced near sunrise or sunset. There are toilet facilities near the carpark. I recommend you come and check it out for yourself!

Mount Tinbeerwah Lookout is a must-visit for big Sunshine Coast views without a long hike. It is wheelchair access for the first 260 metres, then gets a bit steeper for the remaining 740 metres. The short, easy track is mostly paved but also takes you across large, flattish boulders that give it a natural, adventurous feel while still being manageable for most ages. There is a small bench seat at about the 600 metre mark, so that you can rest before making the slightly easier track to the Lookout platform. From the lookout platform, you’ll get a stunning 360° panorama – lush hinterland rolling out to the Glass House Mountains in one direction and sparkling coastline in the other. It’s especially magical at sunrise or sunset when the colours light up the whole landscape. Parking is limited and there’s little shade, so bring water and a hat, but for such a small effort, the payoff is huge. There are also anchor points for those that wish to repel over the cliff edges. As always, if you take children, make sure you keep an eye on them at all times. A lot of the cliff edges are un-fenced.

Margo once called a sold-out K'gari tour back until a spot opened, then rang the visitor to tell them. The beach wheelchair loan programme gets people into the surf who thought that wasn't possible anymore. Staffed by volunteers who actually know Noosa. Start here.
Noosa Regional Gallery
Tewantin QLD
A glow room, shadow puppets, and a rotating program of contemporary art that takes itself seriously without losing the kids. Noosa Regional Gallery punches above its size, especially during NAIDOC weekends when Kabi Kabi cultural experiences come to the forecourt.
