CONTENTS Just a short drive from the beautiful beaches of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast is ‘Noosa Outback’, where the "Outback meets the Surf". There are mountains to climb and lakes to see and amazing National Parks for all to enjoy. Take a country drive through historical townships, stop on the way to buy some fresh local produce from farm stores and local market vendors and take in the stunning scenery. There are experiences galore such as riding the historic Mary Valley Rattler, catching a silent movie at the Pomona Majestic Theatre, visit the Kenilworth Cheese Factory or take a bush walk through majestic forests. You can spend a day or stay and play for days on end. There are so many places to stay you are spoilt for choice with farm stays, camping options, B&Bs and cabins. There are vast amounts of countryside for you to explore. To get the real feel of the Noosa Outback try horse riding, mountain biking or a bush walk. From rolling hills, to lush green pastures, rocky outcrops and magnificent waterfalls - Noosa Outback has so much to offer that it will keep you coming back for more!
