Tewantin National Park

Tewantin National Park extends across 13 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including coastal rainforest, eucalyptus forest, and Wallum Heath between Noosa and Cooroy.

The area received official protection status in 2013 when the Queensland Department of Environment and Science designated it as a national park.

The park's name originates from the Aboriginal word 'dauwadhum', meaning place of dead logs, reflecting the region's historical connection to timber activities.

The park includes numerous walking tracks accessible from Cooroy-Noosa Road, offering opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding throughout the protected area.

Mount Tinbeerwah, rising 265 meters within the park, consists of solidified lava from ancient volcanic events and provides views across the surrounding landscape.
