Mount Cooroora

Reviewed By Barry-in-Noosa - Noosa, Australia

Awesome views and a real sense of achievement at the top. I went with my 2 daughters aged 5 and 6. I wouldn't recommend this climb for young kids unless they are sensible, follow instructions and have experience with steep, challenging climbs. You really need to keep your kids very close once the steep climbing towards the top begins. If you can compare to other local mountain treks with kids, with Mt Tinbeerwah a 1 out of 10 for difficulty, Mt Ngungun a 3, Mt Coolum a 4, then this would be around 7 or 8 out of 10... but so worth it! Whenever we drive past it conjures up fantastic memories.

Australia Zoo

Wildlife in this popular zoo was captured by Australia's famous "Crocodile Hunter," a legendary herpetologist excelling in snake and crocodile capture techniques.

Reviewed By Cmopdgc - Davis, United States

What a day at the zoo! My wife and I wanted to have a really special experience at the Australia Zoo so we sprung for the Aussie Animals private tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and informative. As we were shuttled to each location we were met with friendly staff and wonderful surprises. We chose to customize our tour a bit and decided to go with the Koala experience instead of the photo only. I highly recommend the experience, to hold the Koala and get some one on one time with the keeper was great. We had a full day at the zoo... from the Kangaroo to the echidna we didn’t meet an animal that didn’t live up to the hype. As a long time fan of Steve Irwin and the Crocodile Hunter show the Australia Zoo has preserved his memory and honored his life through wildlife conservation. The Crocoseum show intro was emotion as well as inspiring while talking me back in time to when I used to watch the Croc hunter diaries... all and all I can’t say enough about the zoo, the staff and they’re continuing goal for wildlife protection and conservation. I will go back some day!

With accommodation right next to the beach, some outstanding restaurants and shops on the adjacent Hastings Street, Noosa National Park next door and a fantastic sheltered surf beach in front of you, this has to be one of the most ideal places to come on a beach holiday.

Maroochydore Beach

Reviewed By 993anitat - Forster, Australia

We have been to Maroochydore Beach before when the surf was pounding. On this occasion the Westerly winds had made the sea very calm. Even though it was May the water was still quite warm. We had fun watching a couple of guys surfing on the hydrofoil sups. The beach is patrolled and has great views to the North and South. We were staying at the nearby Cotton Tree Caravan Park so I got up at dawn and watched the beautiful sunrise over the ocean and had a walk along the beach. Great Spot!
