Description
A family friendly walk around one of the few remaining patches of coastal forest in Mooloolaba.
SUITABILITY
This walk is suitable for all ages – bring the dog on a leash - also jogging and cycling (though it is a little narrow in places). A flat walk ideal for wheelchairs and prams. There is limited seating around the walk. Great for a family outing on a weekend afternoon.
HIGHLIGHTS
This 20 min walk leads through a patch of coastal rain forest with towering paperbark trees and palms providing ample shade and valuable habitat for local wildlife. Keep an eye out for the flying fox roost on the western section of the walk and the odd water dragon sunning itself on the edge of the path. Families can stop at the play area halfway on the walk, located 100m off the path towards the north. To complete the loop, walk along Goonawarra Drive and up Amarina Avenue or back. For a longer walk or bike ride this path connects to bike ways to Mooloolaba Esplanade and to Buderim.
HOW TO GET THERE
There are access points from various surrounding streets, however the main entry point is directly opposite the bus stop on the corner of Goonawarra Drive and Yallanga Place
