Mountain View lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located on the Tibrogargan circuit track, Mountain View lookout opens up to wide views across several of the Glass House peaks, including Mount Beerwah, Coonowrin, Tibberoowuccum, and Tunbubudla.

Tip by

1.16 km

This 4.1 kilometre return Grade 3 circuit in Glass House Mountains National Park loops around the base of Mount Tibrogargan through a mix of casuarina groves, open eucalypt woodland, and melaleuca forest. The track remains largely shaded due to dense tree cover, offering some relief from the heat along the route. Expect a mostly well-defined path with sections of uneven ground. The mountain’s rock face appears at different points as you move around the circuit.

Soldier Settler's Trail and Trachyte Circuit junction

Highlight • Trail

This is one of the main junctions on the track, marked by a sign pointing toward Beerburrum trailhead, Soldier Settlers’ Trail, and the Trachyte Circuit. The paths split in different directions through open forest, with sandy ground and loose leaf litter underfoot. It’s an easy place to check your route, especially if you’re linking different sections rather than sticking to the main circuit.

Jack Ferris Lookout
