Noosa Everglades

Noosa Everglades Discovery invites you to experience one of Australias most magnificent wilderness areas with its dark waterways and myriad of wildlife. The spectacular features of the Noosa River system combined with the long stretches of 40 mile beach make up the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park, the largest sand mass in the world.

The spectacular Cooloola Coast stretches 65 kilometres from Noosa to Fraser Island. Cooloola’s 56,600 hectare park is a refuge for plants, animals and birds including many endemic and endangered species and offers a diversity of natural landscapes. It is a remarkable ecological treasure evolved from sand washed north from the river systems of New South Wales over millions of years.

Great Sandy’s sheltered calm waters, shifting patterns of mangroves, sea grass, sandbanks and mud islands, and its unusual ancient swamplands known as patterned fens, are exceptionally important. These are feeding grounds for migratory shorebirds and home to several rare and threatened species: sea turtles, dugong and inshore dolphins to the lesser known mangrove-dwelling butterflies and false water rats.

Explore, this breathtaking area with Discovery Noosa, enjoy a cruise through the lakes and take a swim in the pristine waters, photograph the abundant birdlife or simply relax in this unique natural environment.
