A Journey through Yandina

At the trail starting point there is parking on the side of the road and a small number of spots in a gravel car park at the end of Old Cobb and Co Lane. There are no accessible parking bays.

The walk begins at Christine Low Park, where you can take a moment to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. There are tables and benches undercover surround by expansive open park area.

As you leave the park and head towards town you cross the South Maroochy River, via a one-metre- wide concrete bridge with railings. The river is a picturesque spot, with its tranquil waters reflecting the surrounding trees and sky.

You then arrive at Lions Park. This park is equipped with a playground with a dirt access path, a front access push button water fountain, BBQ facilities, tables (accessible with a wheelchair) and benches accessible from the path along with a right-hand accessible toilet. From here you travel uphill on a two- metre-wide concrete path at a gradient of 1:7 incline for about 20 metres before leveling out. If travelling by wheelchair it is recommended that you have mechanical assistance for this section.

The path widens to two metres and leads you across Flemming Street and past the shops. You then turn into Stevens Street. There is a push button water fountain and bench seating with back rests at this location.

This part of town is lined with charming, historic buildings, many of which date back to the early 20th century. As you stroll along, you'll pass by a mix of quaint shops, cafes, and galleries, each offering a taste of the local culture and community spirit. Stop by one of the local cafes for a coffee or a bite to eat.

The path leads you past the Yandina Hotel and into Railway Street Park where you will find bench seats with back rests, toilets - accessible right-hand transfer and ambulant. Here there is an accessible parking bay if you wish to start your walk from this location.

Here it is a little tricky to cross the street if you are using a wheelchair or mobility aid. You will need to use the railway station driveway to gain access to the street to cross and arrive at the entry of the veterinary practic driveway before turning back onto the footpath.

The 1 metre to 1.5metre wide concrete path takes you to George VI memorial Park where there are tables - accessible for wheelchairs, benches, and BBQ's undercover. There is a playground, however there is no path leading to it. There is a left-hand operated push button fountain, skate facilities, a left- hand transfer toilet and ambulant toilet, and a small basketball court. This is where the trail ends, there is no path that can take you any further.

Crossing the South Maroochy River, with a lovely view of the water and its natural surroundings.

• Picnic tables, benches, and BBQ facilities along the path.
• Accessible toilets at three locations along the path.
• Push button water fountains along the path.

So many places to stop along the way to enjoy a spot of shopping, a coffee, or a meal. The picturesque shops in Stevens Street are a favourite.
