  • Great view - can see all of Brisbane metropolitan area. Plenty of room. Pity the telescopes aren't free. No need to charge for these! Probably not quite enough parking.

  • It was unfortunately raining when we went to the lookout point but the views was still amazing and I was able to snag a few photos. There is a very nice café and souvenire shop at the lookout.

  • Excellent place, not far from the city centre. Amazing views of the city and surrounds. The cafe is very good too. Lots of good walks nearby if that rocks your boat. Plenty of car parking also.

  • Amazing lookout especially for magnificent and stunning sunrise and sunset with bird-eye view of Brisbane. Many free car park just in front of the lookout and surrounding areas. No problem for car parking. Having wheelchair access, benches to sit and rest, also big cafeteria if you want a coffee or breakfast with the view. You can take a bus up here, or just 15 mins drive from the city. Highly recommended, definitely a must while you are in Brisbane!
  • Nice spot with a great view of Brisbane city. Limited parking at the top when it's busy and not a lot of space to turn around up there. If you can find a park at the top during peak times you're very lucky. Gets busy in the evenings and weekends. There's a little gift shop up there, ice cream shop / Cafe and toilets. There's also picnic spots and bush walking tracks on the drive up. The ride up is fun on a motorbike too!
  • Best place to see the entire Brisbane City along with the opening to the sea and other mountain ranges. Its an awesome place to come to, sit & relax, and enjoy the scenery. Sunrise is the moment, you would definitely don't want to miss. This place is very popular among photographers as u can see different shades of the city from day to night. Definitely recommend this place to visit.
  • Damn this is a awesome spot for amazing scenic views of Brisbane and area! Not to mention the many different trails to choose from to get up there. On a clear day which is usually every day in June it’s fantastic. And the cafe adds to the experience. 😎👍
  • Fabulous views from the summit, which is only a short walk from the car park. There's plenty of space at the top although it can become busy at sunset or peak times. A cafe / restaurant and toilet facilities are available at the top, and parking can be quite limited. Several walks down from the summit with a map of these routes at the main entrance. Stunning city views and a pleasant area to visit.
