Description: Once past the fence at parking area, take the track off to the right to access the Conservation Park. The land belonged to well known Cooroy chemist, Harry Springs and his wife Gladys. They realized and appreciated the vegetation value of the property so generously donated the area to the Noosa Shire Council so it could be preserved for posterity. Where Wooroi Creek runs through the park there is a profusion of Cabbage Tree palms. Tracks off the main track tend to be lost under fallen palm leaves. Casuarina and melaleuca trees attract birds along the main track.
