Glass House Mountains Lookout
Glass House Woodford Road, Beerburrum, Australia, 4517This tour has 4 hours of driving time. The Sunshine Coast Hinterland—our destination— is 1.5 hours drive north of Brisbane. Sometimes we can strike traffic on the return journey to Brisbane.
Making a wonderful start to any journey is the view from the lookout of the Glass House Mountains. Study the signs at the lookout area to identify the various peaks of the well-known Glass House Mountains. Take an optional 800m stroll along the Glass House Mountains lookout track, which starts at one side of the day-use area and returns on the other side. This easy track takes you about 30 mins and is worth the time as it takes you along the side of the hill through open scribbly gum forest with grass trees, and down through a wet eucalypt forest gully with emergent rainforest species. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Glass House Mountains and surrounds from lookouts, then continue on the sometimes steep track through ironbark and tallowwood eucalypt forests back to the day-use area.45 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2
