Mount Coolum National Park

The Mount Coolum rises 208 meters above the lowlands and contains areas of eucalyptus forests, paperbark wetlands, and montane heath vegetation.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science established Mount Coolum National Park in 2001 to protect the natural ecosystems of the Sunshine Coast region.

The summit track has become a regular exercise destination for local residents who climb the mountain path for physical activity and nature observation.

The walking track extends 800 meters to the peak, requiring approximately 45 minutes to ascend and 30 minutes to descend under normal conditions.

The national park contains half of all plant species found on the Sunshine Coast, including rare montane heath that grows in only two locations.
