HIGHLIGHTS

The hilly hinterland stretch makes this a perfect workout for those wishing to increase their fitness levels, or maximise their time exercising.

Good walk from Woombye to Palmwoods. Yummy brekky at The Cocoa Tree before return walk back to Woombye. We did initially start down by railway track thinking path followed but found our way to path that virtually runs parallel to Nambour Connection Road. 😄

We parked in Woombye and made it about half way before turning back. It was a bit too hilly for my 5yr old twins on their bikes, and imagine it would be tough if pushing a pram. A nice walk (what we saw of it, anyway!), but maybe best suited to older kids if using bikes.
