Highlights

Ended up at Noosa’s Civic Shopping Centre and want a quick outdoor diversion? This is perfect. You can walk, cycle or drive to the end of Hoffman drive in minutes, and then through a gorgeous little forest path. You can also park at the roundabout at the other side (before they build a road here), and even duck down to the secluded Eenie Creek.

There’s plenty more bushland to be found close by (see map). Or you can pop back to Noosa Civic, to Belmondos on Rene Street for great coffee or to nearby Bunnings for a BBQ snag any day of the week to support a worthy cause. There are also two new boutique breweries less than 1 km away.
