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.

If you first look is from the surface, than you’ll probably think their isn’t much there. But as you enter the underground viewing area, you’ll be amazed at the amount of species that call the bay home. Like visiting an aquarium within a theme park. One of my favourite spots within SeaWorld

What an awesome gem for any city, and although we used this space for parkrun during our visit to the Ville, it was a beautiful & functional space around the Ross River.

This is a beautiful unspoilt part of the Gold Coast away from the hustle and bustle of Surfers and Broadbeach. Great walks around the headland and secluded swimming spots.
7. Grassy Hill
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 527 reviews
Grassy Hill offers a 360 degree view of Cooktown, the Endeavour River and the Great Barrier Reef. Although now quite heavily forested, Grassy Hill is so known because local aboriginals deliberately burnt the forest on the hill to encourage re-growth of vegetation and draw animals to the area for hunting. The landscape you see today from the top of the hill has changed little since Captain James Cook and the crew of the HMB Endeavour climbed Grassy Hill in 1770 to view the surrounding reefs enabling him to navigate a safe passage. The views today, especially at sunset and sunrise, are still as spectacular as in 1770 making Grassy Hill one of Cooktown's most popular attractions.

Grab some Fish and Chips to enjoy a fantastic sunset. 360 degrees views with lighthouse with history of Cooktown to displays. However, get up early and with a quick walk up the hill you will witness the magic sunrise!
