Highlights:
Noosa National Park is located in the east of Noosa Heads in Queensland, where you can enjoy spectacular sea views and rich native Australian wildlife. A vast landmass that extends into the coastline, it is one of Australia's most well-known and popular parks, and a very accessible park. 1. Attractions Overview Noosa National Park is a very important nature reserve, home to several rare and endangered species. The park can be divided into four parts according to the landform, namely Headland Section, Emu Mountain Section, Sunshine Coast (Peregian Section) and East Weyba Section, each of which has its own characteristics and outstanding features. Enter the national park from the boardwalk along the coast from Hasting Street, and pick up a hiking trail map at the Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service Centre at the entrance. 2. Animals Vorum heather, woodlands and large rainforest areas with araucaria and kauri are important refuges for wildlife, including koalas and rare black cockatoos, visitors can find a large number of them in the park koalas and humpback whales, in addition to a range of mammals and birds, including bandicoots, brush-tailed possums, ground-dwelling parrots, cockatoos, robins, satin bluebirds, Crimson Rose Parrot etc. Koalas are often seen sleeping in trees near Tea Tree Bay, while dolphins are often spotted on the headlands around Alexandria Bay. 3. Sports The beaches of Alexander Bay are also a good place for nude swimmers. Several silver-white beaches in the park provide good conditions for swimming, but you also need to pay attention to the size of the wind and waves when swimming. There are also a series of other sports, including mountain climbing, fishing, surfing, snorkeling, etc. I believe there is always one suitable for you. In order to protect the original ecological environment, camping is prohibited in the park. 4. WALK You can explore the picturesque Noosa Heads along a selection of five paths, which range in length from one kilometer to eight kilometers and cater for visitors of all sizes.
