My Blog:
Another walk, that we completed by accident! We were doing a reci of the course for Nambour Park Run (the hardest Park Run in Australia), which we were due to complete on the following Saturday morning at 7am.
So not only have we walked this one, but also run the 5km in 38 minutes!
Short Description:
Parklands Regional Park is a valuable wildlife habitat with vegetation ranging from eucalypt forests of bloodwood and tallowwood trees (with banksia, wattle and grass tree understorey) to rainforest gullies with flooded gum, turpentine and, in protected wetter areas, groves of palms.
A number of creeks lead to rock pools and cascades, which flow after heavy rainfall.
Getting there:
Access the main entrance at Radar Hill Road, Kulangoor.
From the south, exit the Bruce Highway at the Nambour Connection Road/Parkland Exit. Turn right, and after 200m, turn right back over the Bruce Highway as if you were joining the highway to go south. Just over the bridge, turn right into Radar Hill Road.
From the north exit off the Bruce Highway at the Nambour Connection Road/Parkland exit and turn left into Radar Hill Road before it crosses over the highway.

Parklands Conservation Park
Route/Trail notes:
This is one of four well defined tracks in the Parkland and travels through open eucalypt forest with bloodwood, tallowwood and casuarina trees on the high ridges, is characteristic of this track.
This is a very undulating track and popular with Trail Bike Riders. You will cross two small creeks and pass apiary beehives on this circuit. In the lower areas, scribbly gum, bracken fern and palm groves grow in protected gullies, where the soil retains more moisture.
Permits/Costs:
None.

As signposting can be a little vague, it is suggested you print off a copy of the tracks from the website link above. Be aware, that the tracks are 'shared' with horse riders and in some section mountain bike riders.
