I visited this tentative WHS in December 2017 and January 2018. If ever this site will get inscribed it will surely be as an extension to the Fraser Island WHS. In fact this part was already excluded from the Fraser Island WHS prior to inscription.

If the logging problems are addressed effectively, I think that extending the inscription to the Great Sandy NP as a whole would further bolster the present buffer zone. Currently, the Cooloola section is situated on the coast between Noosa Heads (a paradise for parakiting - photo) in the south and Rainbow Beach in the north and covers 18,400 hectares. There are information boards explaining the site's natural importance too.
