Mount Cordeaux Lookout

Mount Cordeaux Lookout, located in the Main Range National Park, delivers breathtaking views across the Scenic Rim, making it a prime destination for landscape photography. After a moderately challenging hike through eucalyptus forest and subtropical rainforest, photographers are rewarded with panoramic views of rugged ridgelines, deep valleys, and distant peaks. The lookout faces west, making it especially stunning at sunset when golden hour light bathes the landscape in warm hues. Along the trail, misty morning conditions often create atmospheric shots through the forest canopy. Accessible via a well-marked trail from Cunningham’s Gap, the hike is best undertaken early in the day to avoid midday heat and capture the best light. (Tarome, Queensland, Australia)
