Noosa Vacations, Noosa Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

A couple of hour's drive north of Brisbane, Noosa is part of the Sunshine Coast area of Queensland. The region consists of several suburbs, including Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Tewantin.

The major tourist hotspot for those coming to the area is in and around Hastings Street in Noosa Heads. Lined with restaurants and playing host to an annual jazz festival, Hastings Street is also right on the beach. The Noosa National Park is about a five minute walk from there, providing stunning cliff and ocean views along hiking trails, access to more remote beaches, as well as the chance to glimpse a koala if you look hard enough.

Noosa and many of the surrounding regions have been given Aboriginal names or adaptions... Noosa means shadow or shadey place.
