Just the name should ensure that most walkers would like to come to Springbrook National Park to have a look-see! The short stroll to the highest lookout on Springbrook Plateau passes through some ancient Antarctic Beech forest.

The lookout lives up to its name by providing a panoramic view across Mount Warning to Byron Bay and Coolangatta, though the view can also quickly disappear in the fog and mist that can suddenly roll in from the coast.
