Exploring Cooroibah's Nature

Cooroibah is a very green area! A part of the amazing Great Sandy National Park is found in the northern section of Cooroibah. The Noosa River forms some of its border to the northeast. The entire Lake Cooroibah is also a part of this area. The southern edge follows a section of Cooroibah Creek. The biggest flood ever recorded at Lake Cooroibah was 2.55 meters high, back in 1992.
