Name: Halloran's Hill Lookout
City, State: Tropical North Queensland Australia
What's it like?
Its location atop an extinct volcano guarantees the new Hallorans
Hill Lookout offers the most spectacular view over the Atherton
Tableland in Tropical North Queensland.
Built on the highest point in Atherton, visitors to the lookout will enjoy panoramic views over the patchwork farmlands of the Tablelands (known as the "food bowl" of the north) through to Lake Tinaroo and the Seven Sisters volcanic landscape.
Part of the Queensland
Heritage Trails Network, the Halloran's Hill Lookout is a stunning spot for
locals and visitors to relax over a barbecue or picnic and soak up the views.
Colourful artworks by local artists are scattered throughout the park.
Visitors can view displays on the region's geographical features, agriculture, how Halloran's Hill has changed over the years, fascinating stories of Atherton's past and the rare Mabi forest, which used to cover most of the shire.
Atherton lies 131km (just over an hours' drive) west of Cairns.
Accommodation: B&Bs, farm stays, historic pubs, motels, caravan parks and camping, cabins, backpacker lodges and houseboats cater for all tastes and budgets.
