Take a walk in the rainforest

Noosa Botanic Gardens is truly a thing of beauty now, at the height of spring.

And the Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens want to take you on a journey to appreciate it, before summer starts to take its toll.

The Friends have chosen ‘Rainforest Ramble’ as the title for the next Guided Walk, happening on Sunday 2 November from 8.30am.

Witness a riot of colour while enjoying the shade of the trees, and some of the more unique rainforest features, such as the Itchy Bomb Tree, which could do more than tickle your fancy. Best not to touch as its seed capsules can leave you with itch skin irritations.

The one-hour walk will also take you where you just may hear the haunting call of the Wompoo Pigeon, among many other songs from the rainforest’s natural soundtrack.

Noosa Botanic Gardens are located on Lake Macdonald Drive, about 4km from central Cooroy.

Best to bring comfortable shoes, a hat and some insect repellant with you.

Oh, and a reminder for all Gardens supporters that the closing date for submissions to the draft of the Master Plan for the Future of Noosa Botanic Gardens is Frida 7, November.
