Dominating the skyline of the Sunshine Coast lowlands is the green-cloaked dome of Mount Coolum. After rain, waterfalls cascade down steep craggy cliffs to open eucalypt forest skirting the lower slopes. Towards the summit, rare montane heath grows. The park also protects coastal wallum, paperbark wetlands and rainforest remnants.
Climb the steep, rough 800 metre trail up the mountain's eastern side from the carpark to the summit. Be rewarded with 360 degree views - most spectacular at sunrise. Look for peregrine falcons nesting along cliff faces. Carry water and snack food. In winter and spring, photograph wildflowers. See how many different types of banksia you can find.
