The Great Noosa Trail Walk is a three day journey on 5, 6 and 7 October 2013 through the natural and cultural landscape of the Noosa hinterland known as “Noosa Country”.
The trail traverses the country towns of Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and Kin Kin via a series of dedicated walking trails through farmlands, natural forests and spectacular lookouts of the hinterland through to the ocean.
Walkers undertake the walk at their own pace and expected to take time to enjoy the landscape, local cafes and antique shops encountered on route. A reasonable level of walking fitness is required, but this is not a race, plenty of time is allowed to complete each days walk. Trail guides will be on the route providing assistance and information about the history and landscape. A nightly entertainment program is provided at the Pomona’s historic Majestic Theatre and at the longstanding Cooran School of Arts Acoustic Night.
Camping accommodation is provided in camping grounds in Pomona and Cooran or alternatively accommodation is available at numerous guest houses. A shuttle bus will transfer all camping gear, as well as be available to collect tired walkers.
This is the inaugural year, but is intended to be held as an annual event. The number of walkers is limited to 200 to ensure a successful and well co-ordinated event and maintain a friendly community atmosphere. Limited day walker spaces (20) are also available for each days walk.
