Noosa National Park

After spending the day trekking through the rainforest, you and your kids will be hungry! Food options in the park are limited so we recommend packing your own snacks and drinks. These can be enjoyed at one of the many picnic tables in the park. Food options close to the park include Widdy's Restaurant: Located in the Noosa National Park Visitor Centre, this restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their kids' menu includes chicken nuggets, fish fingers, and burgers. Cafe on the River: This cafe is located in the Noosa National Park car park. It is open for breakfast and lunch.

The best time to spot koalas in the rainforest is early in the morning. Head out on one of the walking tracks and bring a torch to spot them in the hollow trees. Once you spot them, you will be amazed by their cuteness! While you are on the walking tracks, listen out for other wildlife. You might hear the squawking of cockatoos, the grunting of kookaburras or the rustling of possums in the trees. There is also a good chance you will spot some colourful lorikeets along the walk.

A backpack is essential to store snacks, water, and any belongings you need. It is also a great way for your kids to carry their own belongings. Bring a torch so you can see in the dark. Comfortable hiking shoes, it is important to wear comfortable walking shoes when hiking. Also do not forget sunscreen, the rainforest is shaded and there is not much sun, but it is still important to apply sunscreen. Bring a first aid kit with bandages, painkillers, and insect repellent. You never know what scrapes and cuts your kids might get.

It is a good idea to bring your camera to capture the beauty of the rainforest.
