Parents Help in Mount Coolum
Mount Coolum is a national park situated in Queensland in Australia. It is situated in 101 kilometer north of Brisbane. It is established in 1990. The area of Mount Coolum national park is 0.69 square kilometer. It is situated at 26°33-48 south on latitude and 153°05-02 east on longitude.
This national park contains rare and threatened plant species, Allocasuarina thalassoscopica and Bertya sharpeana. About 40 percent of known fern families grow in the park. Peregrine falcons nest along the cliff faces.
The park extends south and west of Mt Coolum protecting coastal wallum, paperbark wetlands and rainforest remnants which have largely disappeared from this part of the Sunshine Coast lowlands.
This park is developed as a picnic spot. The half of the park is undeveloped and suitable only for keen bushwalkers. A rough 800m trail on the eastern side of the mountain leads from a car park to the summit. Only fit walkers should attempt the climb. Wear a hat, sunscreen and sturdy shoes. Take drinking water. Allow about two hours for the return hike.
