Discover the Hidden Hinterland Trails
The Hinterland is nothing if not inclusive – it features a wide range of walks and nature trails for all abilities, tastes and ages. There are wheelchair and pushchair-accessible tracks, as well as easy ones for walkers new and old. Here are some of the best.

Slightly longer at 3.2km, but nice and flat, this easy walk takes visitors round the base of the mountain.

Wompoo Circuit
This 1.3km walk winds through some eucalyptus trees and walkers can listen out for the Wompoo fruit dove.
Conondale National Park
Booloumba Falls Walk
At 24km, this is an all-dayer, but it has rockpools for walkers to dip into, as well as waterfalls and rainforest sections, so it’s easily doable!

Kondalilla National Park
Picnic Circuit
At just 1.7km and under lots of eucalyptus trees, this walk is great if you just had a big outdoor lunch.
Kondalilla Falls Circuit
This challenging 4.7km walk features a lot of steps, so it’s not suitable for everyone. Anyone going on the walk will get views of Kondalilla Falls as well as lots of shade.
Obi Obi Boardwalk
A nice shady 1km walk which is wheelchair accessible; it has the advantage of leading ramblers straight into Maleny.
