Sunshine Coast and hinterland national parks

Listen to the sounds of Australian summer—cicadas humming, weathered bark crackling underfoot, laughing kookaburras and waves breaking gently on the beach. Hike for days on a Great Walk or take a short stroll to scenic lookouts where you can soak up epic mountain views and coastal scenery. Venture deep into the green hinterland, beneath ancient trees and rainforest vines, letting nature’s healing power rejuvenate your spirit. Seek adventure—at your own pace, in your own style. Hit the trails mountain biking, rumble down 4WD roads, dip your toes in cool rainforest pools or relax with a gourmet picnic beside a waterfall. Reconnect with nature on a camping escape. Pitch your tent or pull up your caravan and swap the city lights for stars. Appreciate stories of the First Nations peoples of this land. Imagine a traditional lifestyle of hunting and gathering this rich coastal bounty—feasts and ceremonies bringing people together. Welcome to Sunshine Coast and hinterland parks Jinibara and Kabi Kabi peoples welcome you to the protected areas of the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland. Parks and forests within this area are of traditional and contemporary significance to both groups, who have an active role in looking after the values for future generations. We hope you will enjoy your visit and respect the sacred places you visit. Welcome to the stunning natural beauty of these incredible parks! Immerse yourself in the beautiful coastal fringes of rugged headlands, fragile sand dunes, mangrove-lined creeks and blooming heathland, then venture to the enticing hinterland for tranquil forests, rambling rocky creeks, mesmerising waterfalls and breathtaking views of ancient volcanic intrusions. Come and see what we see!
