• Power Memorial Park - Stop at Power Memorial Park and Mudjimba Beach Boardwalk

During the e-bike tour, there will be a stop at Power Memorial Park, where the boardwalk offers breathtaking views of Mudjimba Beach and Mudjimba Island, also known as “Old Woman Island.” This small rocky islet, part of the Maroochy River Conservation Park, holds cultural significance for the local Aboriginal Kabi Kabi people.

The island’s name originates from the Kabi word “midyim,” referring to the Midyam bush that produces sweet, speckled berries. According to legend, two women stranded on the island survived by eating these berries, leading to its nickname. Another tale suggests the island represents the severed head of the warrior Coolum, cast into the sea during a battle.

Beyond its legends, Mudjimba Island is renowned for its rich marine ecosystem, vibrant coral reefs, and excellent snorkeling, diving, and surfing opportunities. This stop offers a perfect blend of history, mythology, and natural beauty to enhance your Sunshine Coast experience.

• Mudjimba - Riding Through the Tree Tunnel North

Ride through the tranquil Mudjimba-Marcoola Foreshore Bushland Conservation Reserve Tree Tunnel North, where the pathway is enveloped by a natural canopy of native trees and vegetation. This enchanting corridor provides shade, tranquility, and a unique opportunity to connect with nature.

The reserve protects vital coastal ecosystems, including dunal vegetation, Melaleuca sand plains, and open forest beach ridges, some of which are ecologically significant. It is a crucial habitat for wildlife, serving as a corridor for koalas and migratory birds. Along the ride, you may spot vibrant bird species and iconic coastal flora like Casuarina trees.

This peaceful bushland path occasionally opens to glimpses of the nearby coastline, blending the beauty of the forest with the allure of the beach. Riding here is both a journey through nature and a moment to appreciate the conservation efforts that safeguard this remarkable area.

• Point Arkwright Lookout And Picnic Area - A stop at Point Arkwright Lookout offers stunning panoramic views of the Sunshine Coast coastline and the iconic headland. Originally named Petrie Heads after explorer Andrew Petrie, it was later renamed to honor Sir Richard Arkwright, an English inventor.

This location holds significant cultural importance to the First Nations people, who regard it as a sacred site tied to their heritage, ceremonies, and storytelling.

The lookout is also renowned for whale watching during migration season, from June to November. Visitors can often see humpback whales breaching and tail-slapping near the shore, especially during peak months when pods with calves pass by.

With its natural beauty and historical significance, the lookout is a popular spot for outdoor events and relaxation. Take a moment to enjoy the breathtaking views, connect with the cultural heritage, and immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings of this remarkable location.

As part of the e-bike tour, there will be a pause at the Boardwalk View of Mount Coolum, offering a stunning vantage point of this iconic volcanic dome and the chance to grab a coffee at Curlys on the Boardwalk.

Rising 208 meters above sea level, Mount Coolum is a distinctive Sunshine Coast landmark, formed 26 million years ago through volcanic activity. Its striking rhyolite cliffs and unique column patterns make it a natural wonder.

The mountain is ecologically rich, hosting over 700 plant species, including rare ecosystems like coastal montane heath and rainforest remnants, making it a biodiversity hotspot.

Culturally significant to the Aboriginal Kabi Kabi people, its name, gulum or kulum, means “without.” According to legend, a fight left the mountain “headless,” with its “head” becoming Mudjimba Island.

Enjoy the breathtaking views, learn about its history, and capture the serene beauty of this extraordinary location.

With over 200 recorded bird species, the park is a haven for birdwatchers, offering sightings of pelicans, whimbrels, and sandpipers. You might also spot kangaroos or swamp wallabies as you ride. Along the path, enjoy stunning views of the river and lush greenery, offering a peaceful escape into nature.
