Discover Nambour: Sound Trail, Art and Park

Nambour offers several different points of interest for a stay: a Sound Trail featuring stories about local history, public art in the CBD, regular activities at the showgrounds and Robinson Falls in Cilento Park. These themes are quite distinct—from a walk with audio content to art in public spaces, as well as parkland and sport. You can weigh up which experiences are most interesting for planning your trip.

Local history on the Nambour Sound Trail

The Nambour Sound Trail takes visitors to significant places in Nambour, including Collins Café, Vogue Cinema, BCC Supermarkets, C-Square and Bayards. Along the way, visitors learn more about the town’s history. The trail is narrated by John Coghill of Powderfinger, with a soundtrack by Lee Hardisty and Leon Tussy. The format brings together the locations listed above with narrated stories and music.

The Sound Trail is a 3.4 km out-and-back route. Allow about 1.5 hours for the walk and listening to the stories. This approximate time explicitly includes both walking and listening, and can help you fit the outing into your travel plans.

Art and cafés in the CBD

The Nambour CBD Art Trail winds through laneways and streets in the town centre, showcasing public art and street art. The artworks draw on local history and stories. They include images and sculptures by local and national artists. At about 3 km, the loop has a different focus from the Sound Trail: here, the emphasis is on art in public spaces and the changing artworks. The public artworks may change over time.

There are cafés along the Art Trail where you can get a snack, coffee or another refreshment. Individual businesses and their availability may change. If you want to plan a stop, check in advance whether your chosen café is open. This lets you combine the art walk with a possible break without relying on any particular café.

Activities at the Nambour Showgrounds

Activities such as cricket, tennis, equestrian sports and badminton take place regularly at the Nambour Showgrounds. These sports offer another point of interest to consider when choosing a destination, alongside the walking trails and art in the town centre. Activities and applicable arrangements may vary. If a particular activity is important to your trip, check with the venue for current arrangements.

Robinson Falls in Cilento Park

Robinson Falls is in Cilento Park in Nambour. The park has open green spaces with picnic tables, barbecue facilities, play equipment and toilets.

If you want to use a particular facility, check its condition in advance. When planning your trip, you can weigh up the different interests: local history on the Sound Trail, public art and cafés along the CBD Art Trail, regular activities at the showgrounds, or Cilento Park with Robinson Falls.
