Beerwah Forest Reserve
Beerwah
Would you like to..
Beerwah Forest Reserve, on the banks of the Mooloolah River, protects one of the few remaining coastal rainforest areas in this region. Also known as 'Jowarra', this 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. Two short, easy walks lead from the rest area: the Mooloolah River circuit and the Melaleuca walk. The tracks are not sealed but in dry weather they are wheelchair accessible. Use insect repellent to deter mosquitoes and leeches.
