Sunshine Coast Hinterland

Monday 10th to Friday 14th August 2009
accommodation in Montville
accommodation in Noosa

Just behind some of Queensland’s most popular coastal towns lies a chain of stunning mountains interlaced with waterfalls, crystal steams brimming with life and small artistic communities. Here we will walk the best sections of the recently opened Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk as well as exploring the Glass House Mountains and it’s surrounds. Our journey through this lush region of southeast Queensland gives us the best mix of rainforest walking and coastal exploring.

DAY 1

Our journey begins after we’ve collected everyone from a central location in Brisbane. We embark on our journey north and head straight to the Glasshouse Mountains where a series of short walks intermingled with lunch and morning tea
gets our walking exploits underway. The monumental volcanic remnants of this area are a fabulous introduction to the area and the views are superb. The walking here is straightforward with a few short climbs. We finish our day settling into our accommodation in the artistic hub of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland – Montville.

10 kilometres walking

DAY 2

Time to start out on one of Queensland’s newest long distance walking routes, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk. Today’s walk begins at the walk’s very start at Baroon Pocket dam and takes us through unspoiled closed forest and allows the walker to experience the beauty of the Obi Obi Creek Gorge. There are lots of small bridge crossings as we meander through the lush rainforest surrounds and finish our days walking at the beautiful Kondalilla Falls.

Then it’s back a very short distance by coach to our place of stay and perhaps some time to do some of your own wanderings.

12 kilometres walking with the option of a longer walk for those feeling suitably inspired and capable.

DAY 3

We’ll set a different pace today as we head off this morning to one of Queensland’s most famous markets, the Eumundi Market. You’ll be delighted at the rustic charm of Eumundi and we’ll spend a few hours here. Straight after lunch it will be time to head to Mt Tinbeerah and Mt Cooroora for a few short strolls before returning to Montville.

6 kilometres walking

DAY 4

Mapleton Falls, Gheerulla Falls plus numerous lookouts and lush rainforest creek spots are ours to enjoy today. We will be walking another lively section of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk today as we follow through palm filled glades with a chance to cool off under a bubbling cascade. Then it’s time to leave the hinterland and head down to the coast as we settle into our accommodation in Noosa for our final nights outing. Tonight we eat out OE.

14 kilometres walking

DAY 5

Today's final walk is an absolute delight. We intend to make sure that you maximise your five days away with us so on our last day we'll be doing a delightful 14 kilometre circuit through the Noosa National Park. Taking in numerous beaches and coves, passing through rainforest and open heathland this walk is a superb way to complete our journey through the area. We'll be returning you to Brisbane around 6.00pm.

14 kilometres walking
