Sunshine Coast Council

A small trail that highlights the timber logging history of Gheerulla.

SUITABILITY
Suitable for all age groups and abilities. The amenities and historical walk are both wheelchair accessible but the path to the creek is not suitable.

HIGHLIGHTS
Tucked just off the Eumundi Kenilworth Road, this little park has some interesting historical features that are worth the stop. Old, tree stumps down near the creek are ghostly reminders of the logging history of the area and in the park, shaded by an avenue of trees, is a short historical walk that acknowledges some of the pioneering timber cutters and selectors who worked in the industry and used the timber to build the first school in Kenilworth.

AFTERWARDS
Head into Kenilworth and sample some of the local cheese or a famous donut from the bakery. This quaint, hinterland town is worth taking a stroll around too as there are many gift shops and cafes to spend some time in.

HOW TO GET THERE
To the starting point: Take the Bruce Highway and turn off onto the Eumundi Kenilworth Road. Follow the signs to Gheerulla. Pioneer Park rest area is clearly marked on the left-hand side of the road.
The Historical Walk is signposted. The creek walk is accessed just behind the amenities block.

To the end point: The end point is the same as the starting point.
