Eildon Hill Reserve is located in Windsor, an inner northern suburb approximately 3.5km from Brisbane’s central business district. More specifically, the reserve is accessed through Constitution Road, one of the many fairly steep and winding residential streets that make up the suburb of Windsor – Eildon Hill Reserve is literally the centre point of a string of houses, the majority of which are old Queenslanders. Windsor is no doubt a beautiful suburb, and is rich in both history and architecture. Source: windsorhistorical.org.au/eildon-hill-reserve/

It's time to check out some of Brisbane's lesser known lookouts, with equally stunning views! And this is where Eildon Hill Reserve comes in. Once you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views overlooking Brisbane City and the surrounding ranges to Cunningham's Gap, the Taylor Ranges, the D'Aguilar Ranges, and even the Glasshouse Mountains on clear days.

This lookout is particularly renowned as a spot for sunsets - from here, you can rest assured knowing that you can take the perfect shot for your Instagram feed.

Sitting in about 10 acres of land on the corner of Brook Street and Constitution Road was this landmark house. In June 1896 the house was sold to Victor Ratcliffe Edward Drury who took out a £1,500 mortgage. The Drurys were living nearby at Rockton. Drury was a solicitor and in 1892 he became a partner in the firm of Hart and Flower. Drury retired in 1899. At this time the house was named Drustan - a combination of the Drury and Stanley family names. In November 1900 the title was transferred to Barbara Jane Drury (nee Grahame) who mortgaged it for £5,000. Barbara, Victor’s aunt, was the widow of Edward Robert Drury who was the big boss at the Queensland National Bank. That Drury family had eight children - four boys and four girls. It was now that the house was called Rougham after the Drury family estate in Bury St Edmonds, England. At Rougham, the family kept horses, cows, poultry and angora goats. In June 1937, the house was offered for sale for removal and the following June the unsold allotments and the house site were re-subdivided into ten lots. These were sold as the Windsor Heights Estate. The corner block on Constitution Road sold for £280 whilst a large block with a small street frontage at the end of Rougham Street sold for £37.

One of Brisbane’s most famous picnic spots, Jollys Lookout in D’Aguilar National Park is known for its panoramic views over Enoggera Forest Reserve out toward the city, further up to the Glasshouse Mountains and even Moreton Bay. The lookout is named after Brisbane’s first mayor, William Jolly, who thought the sizable, rolling mountain ridge reserve was the perfect place for a picnic and it seems today many are still in agreement with him. The Lookout Set among the backdrop of the lush, dense rainforest and eucalypt forest of Mount Nebo, Jollys Lookout is a sweeping opening featuring numerous barbeques, sheltered and exposed picnic tables as well as a well-maintained toilet block with a baby change room. The lookout is wheelchair accessible and offers a wonderful way to enjoy a lazy afternoon picnic with the family, friends or a loved one. Visiting at sunrise or sunset is sure to provide breath-taking views and a great opportunity for that spectacular snapshot you’ve been dying to post on Instagram.
