Best of All Lookout

Are rare opportunity to see cool temperate gondwanan rainforest in south east qld with an unbelievable view! Keep an eye out for the elusive Albert's lyrebird among other rare rainforest species. Best enjoyed early morning or late afternoon on a sunny day. If its cloudy come anytime 😊 short 350 meter eay walk! Enjoy🌿⛰️

The walk to the lookout was pretty easy, even for my elderly mother. It was chilly as we passed through the thick first forest but we really didn't know what we were in for. The view is phenomenal! We enjoyed some time to take it in and some kind visitors took a group shot for us. There's a bench at the lookout if you want to sit and enjoy. No facilities around that I can recall, but there's ample parking.

I have been visiting this spectacular very high Look Out over the past 35 years. And sadly over time climate change is slowly making this beautiful rainforest dryer. It used to be buzzing with wild life and lots of Lyrebirds singing through out the day and big wild plant gingers as green as the next day. And the Staghorns and Elkhorns are slowly twiddling. The trees and ground cover is still very green. You will get some very good photos along the pathway. After heavy rain, the rain forest smells so fresh. When you get to the Lookout, the March flies will love you. I took my 88 year mum up there today being 7-11-2025. There is a bottom 🚗 park. But being a week day in the off season. You can park close to the start of the pathway. It is a skinny bitumen pathway, I would not recommend it for a wheelchair or someone with a walking disability. Some sections are a little bit steep. We just took our time of course. With plenty of breaks, there and back. My old mum, Even had a bush Pee. I guess when you’re that age. If you got to go, you got to go. On a clear day you can almost see Byron Bay. There are no toilets here, so take note on your way here. Where there are amenities on the beautiful drive up here. Bring provisions and drinks. If you’re coming on the weekends, get here early. Because there is a lot of traffic up and down. Sometimes in winter it can get really foggy. And you can’t see sht. If you’re looking for some where to have a swim and a picnic. I highly recommend Bochow Park in the Numinbah Valley. Clean Amenities, big monkey bars area for the kids, free gas BBQs. Heaps of room to kick a ball and plenty of room for the dogs to run around. There are tables and chairs, but they are normally taken. So bring camp chairs or a blanket. On weekends, sometimes you have to park on the side of the road as it’s very popular on warm summer days. In the evening for an hour or so. The insect noisey critters are loud as. Or of a night, go to the Natural Bridge, which is spectacular and loud after heavy rain. Bring a torch on a very good pathway walk through the rainforest and check out the Glow worms in the big cave. It’s a beautiful mystical walk listening to the natural spring water coming down the mountain at night. Don’t forget the mosquitoe spray for your body. Or Flutterbies Cafe in Tyalgum or the beautiful Tyalgum hotel beer garden. That also has a big inground pool for the kids. Just over the border, also a very picturesque drive. I also recommend Albert River Wines. Teakwood Cafe Burringbar. The Tea House at Binna Burra. The Paddock Estate restaurant. On beautiful rolling green hills. Fine Dining at Beechmont. You have to book in advance. When we drove in there to have a look on Christmas Day. They were open, and the car park was full. And all the young men and their partners were dressed to impress. Air Conditioning. Also with plenty of accommodation. On beautiful rolling green hills, in a quiet farming district. Other places of interest I recommend, Tallebudgera Valley rock pools. Currumbin Valley rock Pools.
