MORE ABOUT LAKE POONA
Poona Lake is a 4.2km grade 2 return walk in Cooloola Recreation Area, Great Sandy National Park, on the Sunshine Coast mainland, and a short drive from Rainbow Beach.
The walk starts from the Bymien day-use area which is accessible by 2WDs.
The walking track takes you past huge Hoop Pines, hundreds of palms, strangler figs, epiphytic and terrestrial ferns and numerous ground orchid.
A reasonable level of fitness is required.
When you arrive at the lake you are rewarded with beautiful tea-coloured waters and white sandy beaches.

WHAT IF IT RAINS!???
If the weather is not suitable we will try and go on Sunday 14th Jan (so please tentatively hold the whole weekend free if possible). Otherwise we will surrender to the power of nature and offer all participants full refunds.
