Rising over 400 meters this razorbacked volcanic plug offers incredible views from its summer, but reaching the top is no easy task. The final approach to the summit is along the narrow ridge with steep drops to both sides. You can still get great views even if you don't attempt the final approach to the top, so those with a fear of heights can still enjoy the hike.

Standing at 208 meters above the Sunshine Coast, the summit of Mount Coolum gives you commanding views in all directions. Additionally, the mountain is home to a rare plant community that is only found in two places along the Sunshine Coast called montane heath.

Mount Maroon rises to about 966 metres within Mount Barney National Park and is a rugged peak of the Scenic Rim, formed from the remnants of an ancient shield volcano. Its rocky gullies, cliffs and open summit areas make it a distinctive landmark, with expansive views from the upper slopes. On clear days, walkers can see across Mount Barney, the Main Range and the Moogerah Peaks, offering some of the widest panoramas in south-east Queensland.

The Mount Cordeaux Lookout sits just below the peak, with panoramic views across Cunningham’s Gap and the surrounding Scenic Rim ranges. The open rocky area provides one of the clearest vantage points along the track, especially in good weather, of Fassifern Valley, Mount Mitchell, and the Main Range.

Mount Ngungun rises to about 253 metres within the Glass House Mountains, a group of volcanic plugs north of Brisbane formed millions of years ago. The summit is a wide, rocky area with open views across the surrounding peaks and coastal hinterland, popular with walkers and climbers, offering close-up views of Tibrogargan, Beerwah, and Coonowrin. The mountain is a favourite for its accessibility and dramatic outlooks across the range.

Mount Coot-tha is a 287-meter-high mountain located about eleven kilometers outside the center. You can easily reach the top of the mountain and the free parking spaces by car or camper. When you get to the top, if the weather is good, you will be treated to a gigantic panorama of Brisbane and the coast. Unfortunately, we were a little unlucky during our visit as the visibility was very hazy and therefore somewhat limited. Nevertheless, we could imagine how incredible the view must be with blue, clear skies! Mt. Coot-tha and the lookout point have a varied history that began in the late 1830s when trees were removed, with the exception of one tree that was left as a reference point for surveyors. This initially gave the mountain the name One Tree Hill. In the 1880s, the summit was cleared and a shelter and water tank were built for the popular tourist destination. The first kiosk was put into operation in the early 20th century and has been continuously expanded. Many of the current buildings were constructed in the late 1960s. During World War II, the mountain was occupied by the United States Seventh Fleet as a magazine depot. In 1995, the lookout was added to the permanent register of historic sites as a place of cultural significance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Coot-tha_Lookout
