Noosa Everglades

Happy Birthday to me! A nice relaxing day spent paddling the Noosa Everglades. We set out from Elanda point and had a nice 4hr paddle plus a lunch stop. The route started in a large shallow lake which led to a narrow deep river surrounded by everglades. Surprisingly we didn’t see much wildlife. No crocs in this area but we did read signs warning not to swim in the river as sharks frequented the area. The tannins in the water also created mirror like reflection in the calm waters which made great photos. It was nice to be back in a boat paddling. This location would also have been great for a multi-day hiking or paddling trip if we had more time. There was a popular sandy dune beach that could only be accessed by 4wd or hiking. We decided to check out the sandy dunes from our next stop in rainbow beach.Read more
