Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Sunshine Coast

"The passage of the Noosa River that cuts into the Great Sandy National Park north of Lake Cootharaba is poetically known as the ‘river of mirrors’ or the Everglades. Hosting almost half of the bird species found in Australia, the river's entire upper catchment is protected, making this one of the most pristine wetlands in the world. It's a perfect place to launch a kayak and camp in one of the many national park camping grounds along the riverbank."

"The Noosa River remains one of the most undisturbed rivers, acting as a mirror for the sunset to glimmer and sparkle on, with the hinterland in the background. When the beaches and lookouts are too crowded, head to Gympie Terrace, which is always a peaceful spot to watch the sun go down. To really satisfy all the senses, enjoy the show with fish and chips from Noosa Boathouse or take away pizza from Zachary’s."

"Noosa's unmissable national park delivers spectacular coastal views (expect to see dolphins) and ambrosial beaches like Tea Tree Bay.

The most popular trail is the Coastal Walk; allow at least 1½ hours for the return trip."

"Terella means “Little Earth” and was born from a vision of a dream brewery inspired by science, a love of beer and connection to the local land.

Their concept is based on a sustainable cycle – “producing what we need and using what we produce”."
