Things to entertain the kids this Summer

Noosa Biosphere Trails

The Noosa Biosphere Trails are a hidden gem located in the Noosa hinterland. The trail network has been progressively upgraded since 2000. These shared-use trails can be explored on foot, bike, or horseback, connecting townships including Cooroy, Cooran, Pomona and Kin Kin.

The network consists of 8 trails, ranging from a simple 5km circuit to more challenging 26km tracks. The scenery includes working dairy farms, timber plantations, macadamia groves and horse studs, offering an authentic adventure with minimally modified grounds. Five lookouts provide stunning views of mountains, lakes and rolling hills.

A recent upgrade to the 14km track formerly known as Trail 7, includes enhancements for safety and accessibility. This relatively flat trail is perfect to wear out the kids these holidays. It winds through lush forest and scenic landscapes, offering visitors numerous spots to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Visit: noosa.qld.gov.au/ noosa-biosphere-trails.
