Mount Tinbeerwah

Reviewed By joyo52 - Brisbane, Australia

Fifteen minute drive (about 9.4km) from Tewantin centre to lookout carpark. Drive up mountain is mix of sealed and unsealed road, but in good condition. The 1km return summit walk from carpark is a good steady incline with steps and easy for someone with medium fitness. I saw some walking who were not so fit huffing and puffing but take your time and it's worth the views. The path is very easy to navigate and even if wet would not be slippery. Best 360 degree view I've seen with easy access in area. Even though views to east were hazy from bushfires, west was clear.

This is a great location to stop and take a look out over the Glass House Mountains area of southern Queensland. This area is about an hour by highway north of Brisbane. It is like entering another world from the big city.

After a beautiful drive up the range we got to the lookout. It was a breathtaking view and you could see clearly all the peaks. We could have stayed there all day just watching the landscape
