| Beautiful beech in Noosa. |
Noosa is situated at
the most exclusive end of the Sunshine Coast about 140 km (90 mi) north of
Brisbane, and is an area where many celebrities have a home. It sits within a
beautiful headland with the mouth of the Noosa River west of the town, a
stretch of beach to the east, and the small but charming Noosa National Park
covering the headland itself, an area of 23 sq. km (9 sq. mi).
Noosa has been
popular with the surfing fraternity for about 40 years, since the big waves that
crash into the headland first came to their notice. Today all kinds of water
sports are pursued upon the river and its creeks as well, such as windsurfing,
kayaking and jet skiing. It is an ideal place for boating, or you can just take
it easy and go fishing at the river mouth.

| Main area. |
The headland and
cliffs in the national park rise to 200 m (660 ft.) and overlook sheltered bays
and splendid ocean views. The park contains high dunes and coastal heath as
well as different types of grasslands and scrub, forest and rainforest. In all,
13 separate plant communities have been defined in this small area, and various
walking trails have been formed, such as the palm grove route and the coastal
route. You may see koalas clinging to the eucalyptus but the main focus of the
park’s diverse habitats is the 121 different species of bird that make their
homes here.
