Wunburra Lookout

The Wunburra Lookout sits in Springbrook National Park, in the lush mountain hinterland behind the Gold Coast. A much-loved lookout, it offers spectacular views — a scenic vantage point over the World Heritage-listed rainforest, the dramatic Springbrook plateau and the surrounding ranges, the kind of breathtaking natural outlook that rewards a drive up into the hinterland.

The appeal is that combination of an easily accessible lookout and genuinely spectacular scenery: sweeping views over the ancient rainforest and the caldera landscape of Springbrook, ideal for taking in the vista, a photo or a stop while exploring the national park's waterfalls, walks and other lookouts. The dramatic hinterland scenery makes it a real highlight of a Springbrook visit.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 420 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. It's in a national park, so access, road conditions and facilities vary, and mountain weather can change quickly with mist and cooler temperatures, so it's worth checking national-park and weather information before you go, taking care on the roads and near lookout edges, then enjoying the spectacular views at Wunburra in Springbrook.
