The Noosa Everglades

While some of these birds, such as the delightful and iconic laughing kookaburra and white-bellied sea eagles are present all year round, others such as the jabiru visit seasonally during the spring and summer months.



Other wildlife around and within the includes swamp wallabies, koalas, echidnas, and goannas. Eastern grey kangaroos with their delightful joeys especially appreciate the green lawns around the ecocamp, and are frequently present between the campsites, wilderness, and luxury tents, and tiny striated pardalotes nest in mud embankments along the lake's shoreline.



The Noosa Everglades are fringed by banksias, tea trees, melaleucas, and reeds, amongst other plants, resulting in tannin-stained waters that are famous for their stunning reflections. Despite its close proximity to Noosa, there is little light pollution, making an ideal location for star-gazing
