The Noosa Hinterland is a destination on the rise. We’d experienced, and loved, the other side of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in the towns of Montville and Maleny, so why not go a bit further north and see how it compared?

Road Trip Through Noosa Hinterland

The Noosa Hinterland is famous for its scenic landscapes of mountains, vineyards and small town charm. You’ll find oldy-world cottages and lush farmlands with rolling hills. It’s a lush green contrast to the golden beaches of the Sunshine Coast, making it the ultimate destination for a rural escape.

If you’re thinking about a Noosa Hinterland getaway but you need a little help planning, here’s a complete guide to the Noosa Hinterland to help you out.

The Noosa Hinterland is a region north of the Sunshine Coast and west of the town of Noosa.

It combines the towns of Doonan, Eumundi, Kin Kin, Pomona, Cooran and Cooroy.

The area is known for its scenic, rural landscape with vineyards and historic pubs, country cottages and heritage walking tracks.

To get to and around the Noosa Hinterland you’re going to need to hire a car, if you don’t have one already. The area is rural and while you can take buses to some attractions, you will be wasting a lot of time waiting around and less time exploring.

You can get to Noosa by train or bus from Brisbane, but from Noosa town to the hinterland, you’ll need your car.

If you are driving to the Sunshine Coast from the Gold Coast or Brisbane, we recommend leaving as early as you can. We thought we left with time enough to beat the traffic but we didn’t.

I’m not sure if it makes any difference, to be honest, as I always seem to get stuck in traffic near Brisbane Airport as you head to the Sunshine Coast. It’s one of the worst roads in Australia for traffic jams, so plan ahead!
