Mount Coolum Track

The word on it

What locals actually say — not a press release.

Mount Coolum's a proper little gem—just over half a kilometre to the summit, but don't let that fool you. The track's a bit rough around the edges, and there's some genuinely steep bits that'll have your legs working. I once tripped over a root halfway up (clumsy me), but the views from the top make it worth every stumble. Short and punchy, this one.
