Noosa, Noosa Heads

Maybe it reminds you of the Mediterranean, maybe the Caribbean, but it is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Australia. This stylish village centers on Hastings Street, but the Noosaville River area is also delightful, as is Tewantin further along. The river and lake system and rain forest land, with their abundant wildlife, lead into the last surf beaches before the Great Barrier Reef. Share your golf game with a kangaroo or two! Follow the boardwalk around the point to Little Cove and the Noosa National Park, where koalas are seen frequently, or watch the surfboard riders.
