Mount Beerburrum Lookout
(Sunshine Coast)A paved but very steep walk leads 700 meters uphill through a small area of rainforest, then winds up to a fire tower. Amazing 360 degree views of the Glass House Mountains.
Getting there
Follow M1 "Bruce Highway" north from Brisbane for 55kms. Leave the highway on Steve Irwin Way, signposted Beerwah and Glass House Mountains Tourist Drive. At approx 4.8 km Beerburrum Rd to Mt Beerburrum Lookout on left. It's a short drive along this gravel road for approx 800 meters to the start of the Mount Beerburrum Lookout walk.

Route/Trail notes
Get to the track before lunchtime to enjoy your time at the top. Be prepared for a steep hike that doesn't end until you are at the top. Some seats along the way to take a rest on. Take plenty of water. In rain the gravel track maybe difficult for cars but ok for 4wheel drives. Great views from the first floor of the fire tower.
Permits/Costs
No permits or costs

Very steep, concreted walk with the occasional "resting rock" en route. Had to go slower and hold the kids hands on the way back down so they wouldn't rush and fall. (5 and 7yr olds) Awesome 360 degree views of the Glasshouse Mountains and Moreton Bay stretching from Brisbane to Sunshine Coast.donna on 24 Apr, 2012

Good footware should be worn. Take water, hat and sunscreen. Great views, don't forget your camera.luke Jackson on 10 Apr, 2009
Definitely worth the short, steep walk for the views, talk water as you will want it by the time you get to the top.
