It was in historical Pomona that in 1958 local man Bruce Samuels ran up nearby Mount Cooroora to cure a hangover. Boasting he did it in less than an hour, his pub mates dared him to do it again. He did! And this was the genesis of the King of the Mountain Race Festival held at Mount Cooroora every year.

Lake Cootharaba, is a magnificent waterway and part of the Noosa River system.
It is the largest lake on the Noosa River. It is also the gateway to the upper Noosa River and the Noosa Everglades. The lake’s shallow water is superb for kids and popular for kayaking, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing and fishing.
The lake-side village of Boreen Point is a delightful little settlement on a raised point of land overlooking its western shores.
The village has a number of attractions including local galleries, lakeside beaches and parklands as well as the iconic and historical Apollonian Hotel.
North of Lake Cootharaba and hidden within the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park is the Noosa Everglades. The Noosa Everglades represent an ancient waterway that has existed unchanged, for thousands of years.
Clear fresh water tannin-stained by nearby paperbarks, emerges from the Cooloola National Park to meet the tidal salt waters of the Noosa River.
Known as the River of Glass because of its picture-perfect reflections, The Noosa Everglades has to be one of the most tranquilly beautiful places on earth.
