I did the Noosa Everglades boat cruise yesterday. It's good value. Three hours on a boat in a unique environment, with food and drinks thrown in, plus interesting commentary, all for $70 or so.
The boat departs from the Habitat Noosa 'Eco Resort', which is just north of Boreen Point. It crosses Lake Cootharaba, then dives through a narrow gap, and makes its way up the Upper Noosa River.
These everglades apparently have much in common with the Florida Everglades, in that they're entirely sand, plus rich vegetation. And there's so much fresh water stored in them that in a long drought, they'd effectively keep the river flowing forever. Or so the commentary went. Lots of wildlife too,including hundreds of bird species. No crocodiles though. You have to go hundreds of kilometres further north for those.
Back at the eco resort you get to watch the (sometimes enormous) kangaroos having their evening graze.
