    Challenging climb with great views to reward when you summit. One of my top experiences on the Sunshine Coast. Meeting lots of walkers on way up and down.

    Great facilities around it with changing rooms tables & chairs to sit at if you don't participate and just want to watch. Our 17year old teenagers were exhausted after 1 session but had a blast!

    Visited on Tuesday 21st March. Has to be one of the best places to view the coast line from Noosa in the north to Caloundra in the south.

    We went to see the wildflowers. Found a number of native orchids. Always enjoy the climb at Emu Mountain.

    We took 2 teenage grandchildren away on a grandparents/grandchildren adventure holiday. As both are water babies we decided to organised waterski lessons for them. Our grandson had very little waterskiing experience some 5 years previously and our granddaughter no experience at all. Emma coached them both beautifully and patiently. Our grandson was up and away on one ski immediately and spent the rest of his lesson time perfecting his stance and cutting the wake skills. Our granddaughter progressed through the initial training onto 2 skis and with a lot of determination managed to stand on 1 ski by the end of her second lesson. Their lessons ended with an exhilarating ride on a tube behind the boat with spectacular spills. All of this was achieved surrounded in the perfect location and facilities of the Oz Ski and with the incredible coaching of Emma and Rick.

    Next to Oz Ski Resort the Blast Aqua Park offers more fun on the water, so needless to say our grandchildren headed straight over there after their ski lessons finishing off their day with more climbing, jumping and sliding fun of the Blast Aqua Park. To say we had 2 very tired but very happy grandchildren at the end of the day is an understatement.

    Emma and Rick, congratulations on building an incredible facility for family fun.

    Great place for your dogs off-leash. I have a small dog so you need to be cautious with larger dogs but that's life (refer other review). Have been going there many times a week for 9 years. Always able to leave your thongs at the gate but sadly this is no longer the case as my thongs got stolen this week. Unfortunately with an increased influx of people they bring their behaviour with them. So hold onto your thongs and let your dog be a dog!

    Absolutely loved this market. For me, it’s authentic, fabulous Qld. Low key, relaxed fun. We bought delicious chutneys, had kids’ hair braided and ate very yummy shaved ice and bbq food while listening to a fun young band. Love, love, love. Cannot wait to go back. Skip the awful, commercial Eumundi Markets and seem out this little gem!

    A great addition to the strip at Coolum. Old school games, pinball and VR. We always call in whilst walking along the shops.

    Great value as you use tokens from the dispensary, ideal for a rainy day or to escape the heat!

    After 10 years of happy marriage we decided to re-visit the lookout at Coolum where our journey started. We found that the area was very well looked after by the local council and toilet facilities have now been installed. Its a wonderful scenic lookout with views of stunning natural beauty to the south and north and is well worth a visit for a picnic or brisk walk up from Coolum beach.
