The River of Mirrors
The river of mirrors is about 40km up the Noosa River from the sea in the Noosa Everglades in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
The Everglades represent an ancient waterway of some 60km that has existed unchanged for thousands of years.
At this point, the river is narrow and slow moving and immensely dense with tea-trees which thrive on the wetland and tropical conditions here.
Their tannins darken the water causing a surreal mirror effect whereby its often tricky to see the water line.
The Noosa Everglades is a wetland of international importance and part of the Noosa Biosphere, Queensland's first UNESCO
Biosphere incorporating four National Parks encompasses 150,000 hectares (circa 570 square miles) with an extensive
diversity eco-systems, culture, flora and fauna.
