Circuit

A leisurely walk traversing the local creek and bushland.

SUITABILITY
This walk is suitable for families and all ages, as well as recreational cyclists.

HIGHLIGHTS
Beginning at the Nichols Ct roundabout, there are a number of off-street parking options. The track begins under the forest canopy and initially takes walkers through the bush along a formed path. A short distance in the path passes a modern playground set amongst the trees. This area also features some green space and picnic tables, perfect for a quick refreshment break or lunch. The trail continues alongside the creek along a winding formed track and small bridges and occasionally short grass and gravel sections. A number of bird species reside in the overhead Scribbly Gum Eucalyptus trees including corellas, galahs, sulphur crested cockatoos and owls. If you are not able to see them you will certainly hear them! The turnaround point is Jacaranda Park which offers a large green space to rest and set up a halfway picnic.

AFTERWARDS
Return via the same route or for the more adventurous, take one of the many side-tracks on offer. The nearby town of Tewantin offers delightful country town hospitality including cafes, bakeries, and parks.

HOW TO GET THERE
To Start: Via Eumundi Noosa Rd, turn onto Beckmans Rd, then right onto St Andrews Drive. Turn right onto Outlook Drive and park at the Nichols Ct roundabout.
To End: The end point is the start point
