Beerburrum & Beerwah State Forests

On the banks of the Mooloolah River here you'll find Beerwah Forest Reserve, also known as 'Jowarra'. This Forest area protects one of the few remaining coastal rainforests in this region. Beerwah Forest is an important home for wildlife, including the wompoo fruit-dove, eastern yellow robin and the vulnerable Richmond birdwing butterfly. The river is home to platypus, which may be seen at dawn and dusk.

Make the most of this beautiful area and take one of the two short easy walks which lead from the rest area: the Mooloolah River circuit or the Melaleuca walk. The tracks are not sealed but in dry weather they are wheelchair accessible. Use insect repellent to deter mosquitoes and leeches.
