Rainforest walk plus good swimming hole about a third of the way into the walk. Just behind the Sunshine Coast, in the scenic Blackall Range, Kondalilla National Park is a cool mountain retreat. The park is named after the spectacular Kondalilla Falls, where Skene Creek drops 90m into a rainforest valley. Kondalilla, an Aboriginal word meaning 'rushing waters', describes this park's waterfall during the summer wet season. Above the falls, tall open eucalypt forest mingles with rainforest species in wetter areas. A drier forest grows on the western escarpment, featuring casuarinas with a grass tree understorey. Subtropical rainforest grows below the escarpment, where soil and aspect is suit

Lake Baroon, which is formed by the Baroon Pocket Dam, was completed in 1989. It covers 380 ha and is the main source of water for Caloundra and Maroochydore. It is used for recreational purposes such as swimming, fishing (it is stocked with Mary River cod, bass, golden and silver perch), sailing and canoeing. Motorised boats must be electric. There is no use of fossil fuel vessels on the lake. Great for picnics!

To the north of Mapleton are a number of glorious parks all nestled into the northern end of the Blackall Range. The Mapleton Falls in Mapleton Falls National Park, which tumble 120m from Pencil Creek down the cliff face rather than falling sheer, are located a short distance from Mapleton village on the Obi Obi Road. Turn near the Mapleton Hotel Motel. There are a number of walks in the park (see http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/parks/mapleton-forest/about.html for more details) but the most impressive, in terms of views of waterfalls and valleys, are: (1) The Mapleton Falls Walk - the lookout near the falls offers excellent views over a valley of wet eucalypt and dense rainforest that once co
