Shire of Maroochy

Travel Guide

Hills and pasture of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Sunrise at the beach at Cotton Tree.
This was a cloudy morning but sunrise is always beautiful from this spot looking out to sea over the Maroochy river. #weekendgetaway
Sunset over the Maroochy river looking out to sea. Always beautiful. #weekendgetaway #colorful
In Queensland’s Sunshine Coast Hinterland, you will find, if you like a good 4x4 drive, Booloumba Cascades and Falls.  With crystal waters and wonderful walks, you can even take a swim here.  Part of Conondale National Park, certainly worth a night or two camping in the dedicated camping areas. #nationalparks #nature #queensland #roadtrip #daytrip #4x4 #troverrt
