·         Location: On McHugh Road between Millaa Millaa and the Kennedy Highway.

·         Elevation: 1070 M.

·         It is the most spectacular lookout on the Atherton Tablelands.

·         The 1800 lookout allows you to see as far as Atherton and the coast near Innisfail.

·         From North-West to South-East you see:

 Malanda Volcano and its gentle slope down towards Malanda to the right. Bones Knob Shield Volcano and Halloran Hill Volcano. You can also see the Seven Sisters and Mt. Quincan cinder cones. The lamb Range is also visible.

·         Following this in a clockwise direction you can see: The rolling hills of the Lake Eacham/Barrine region which continue into the even   and gentle slopes of Lamins Hill shield volcano. Behind Lamins Hill are the Bellenden Ker  Ranges.Next to them is the granite dome of Mt. Bartle Frere, which is the highest Mountain in Queensland at 1622M.

·         Below the lookout between two shield volcanoes.

On the way to the lookout we turned off the Palmerson Highway and headed towards Ravenshoe - The highest town in Queensland. We visited Waterfalls on this route include Souita & Pepina, being 7 Km’s off the road they are secluded & relatively untouched, suitable for fit walkers, the paths were slippery, caution was required to visit Souita Falls.  

We drove past the “Windy Hill” Wind farm - Spectacular site for this wind-generated electricity. It was a delightful drive and we stopped at the roadside farmers stalls and bought fresh bananas for $1. a kilogram then returned to our base at Flying Fish point.
