Mount Coot-tha Lookout

Go to Mount Coot-tha for Brisbane's broadest central lookout: the terrace frames the city, its winding river and, on a clear day, Moreton Bay.

Why go

This is a useful first stop for orienting yourself before exploring the city. From the summit, the built-up centre sits within a wider landscape of suburbs and coastal plain. The lookout also connects to tracks in the Mount Coot-tha Reserve, so the view can be one part of a longer outdoor visit.

What to look for

  • Summit terrace with a broad city panorama
  • Views can extend toward Moreton Bay
  • Signed tracks link into Mount Coot-tha Reserve

Useful to know

  • Reach the summit by Sir Samuel Griffith Drive or a signed reserve track.
  • Choose a clear day if a distant bay view matters.
