MCCONNELL LOOKOUT

Public BBQ

A lookout well worth the detour near Gayndah, with views for kilometres over the Burnett River above the weir, the orchards and farms along it, and the town in the background. The natural vegetation on the mountain is worth the trip on its own, and towards sunset it is better again. There are new barbecues, three permanent picnic tables, chairs, an undercover area and a composting toilet, with a carpark a short walk from the lookout itself. The road up is the thing to plan for: steep, narrow, one lane and unmade, though well graded and fine without a four-wheel drive. It is not suitable for caravans or wide vehicles, passing places are limited, and the approach from the north is smoother than the southern one. Watch for kangaroos late in the day.
