Tewantin National Park

Tewantin National Park is a nature reserve featuring coastal rainforest, eucalyptus woodland, and heathland spread across the area between Noosa and Cooroy. The landscape combines several distinct forest types and open vegetation zones in a single protected area.

The area gained official protected status in 2013 when Queensland's Department of Environment and Science designated it as a national park. This conservation decision helped secure the region's natural landscape for the future.

The park's name comes from an Aboriginal word referring to fallen timber, connecting visitors to the region's relationship with the forest. Local stories reflect how communities once used these woodlands.

Multiple walking trails run through the area and can be accessed from Cooroy-Noosa Road. You can explore on foot, by mountain bike, or horseback depending on the tracks you choose.

Mount Tinbeerwah rises about 265 meters (869 feet) above the surrounding landscape and was formed by ancient volcanic activity. Climbing to the top rewards visitors with wide views across the park and beyond.
