about Lake Cootharaba
|
Lake Cootharaba
is one of Australia's finest sailing venues. It measures 10km
by 5km, is totally landlocked and surrounded on 3 sides by National
Parks. It is 1.5 - 2 metres deep and is part of the beautiful
Noosa River System. Steady NE to SE 15knot winds usually blow
over the low, narrow sand dunes which divide the lake from the
Pacific Ocean.
Lake Cootharaba
Sailing Club is a very informal, friendly family club with over
200 members and many years experience in running state, national
and world titles for a large variety of classes.
The Club
house is on a pleasant tree-lined beach in the heart of Boreen
Point. The building houses a large main hall, a covered poop
deck viewing area, bar and meals, boat housing, hot showers
and toilets.

A separate
secure boat housing and trailer storage is located a couple
of hundred metres from the club, visitors are rquested to leave
their trailers in this facility to avoid cluttering up the beach
area.
Boreen Point's
base population is about 200 and is well set up to cater for
visitors. It boasts boat hire, camping grounds and plenty of
accommmodation alternatives from camping to bed 'n' breakfasts
and self contained units. The Apollonian Hotel, a restored 100+
year old Gympie mining hotel provides normal hotel services
plus backpacker style accommodation at reasonable rates. Two
general stores provide most of your daily needs with Tewantin
and Noosa on 15 minutes away for any extras. Four kilometres
north of Boreen Point, on the water in Cooloolah National Park
is Elanda Point Camping, Cabins, Canoes and Boats with has a
large camping ground.
For families
and friends of sailors what to do when they are sailing is not
a problem. Noosa, all the Sunshine Coast, and the superb views
and waterfalls, arts and crafts of the Blackall Range are all
within an hours drive. Brisbane to the south and Fraser Island
to the north are only 2 hours away, and the Gold Coast 3 hours
drive.
