Dunethin Rock, Heritage site in Maroochy River, Australia
Dunethin Rock features a volcanic dome monolith with a flat summit, surrounded by 37 hectares of bushland reserve along the Maroochy River.
The site received its designation as a scenic reserve in 1924, marking the beginning of North Coast's emergence as a prominent holiday destination.
The name originates from Aboriginal language, referring to the place of swimming trees due to the practice of log transportation in the river.
Visitors can access the site through Lake Dunethin Road and walk 200 meters up the gravel path to reach the plateau.
The natural reserve contains 265 different native plant species and provides views extending to the Blackall Ranges and coastline.
