Mt Ninderry is a 304 metre high wave-shaped mountain located between Coolum and Yandina, but the walking track gives you about 130m of elevation gain from the car park. We began here (after morning tea of course) and followed the track to the top for some stunning views of the coast and Hinterland. Our original plan was to go on from here to ascend Mt Coolum, but fortunately someone on this track told us it was closed to hikers until the end of the month. Plan B proved to be an unexpected delight. We went to the nearby Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden located in Tanawha.. The garden showcases plants native to the Sunshine Coast region. It includes a mix of eucalypt open forest and creek-side rainforest, featuring lagoons, rocky and palm filled gullies, and the headwaters of Mountain Creek. We had the most fun strolling around the Sculpture Garden which features around 30 works that were created at the International Stone Sculpture Symposium held in 2005. Of course we enjoyed posing with the sculptures too. We did do some hiking amid the clowning around. There are plenty of walking tracks, some with hands on activites, some interesting resting places and plenty of art works. We only had time to do a few of the many walking trails that meander through the area, so we look forward to returning some time soon.
