  Tamborine Mountain is part of an ancient volcanic rim with an elevation of around 550 meters above sea level. The many natural attractions on offer include fantastic lookout points, allowing visitors to gaze in the distance and enjoy uninterrupted views to the surrounding hinterland and coastline. “Knoll Road” Located at the very end of Knoll Road, this lookout is well-maintained and easily accessible. It offers plenty of facilities and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. “Cameron Falls” Reached after a very enjoyable 30 minute hike starting at the “Knoll Road” lookout, this viewing platform allows views inland as well as on to “Cameron Falls”. “Beacon Road” Past the famous “TM Distillery” right at the very end of “Beacon Road”, this is a less frequented lookout point with a small turning circle and limited parking. “Witches Falls” Forming part of the “Witches Chase” hiking track, this viewing platform is best reached via a 25 minutes walk from the “Main Western Road” car parking area opposite “Hartley Road”. “Rotary Lookout” One of the most popular lookouts located on “Main Western Road” directly opposite the Bavarian Grill Haus Restaurant, equipped with benches and binoculars. “Hang Gliders” Also on “Main Western Road” this spot often comes alive with numerous hang gliders using this cleared section of the escarpment as a launch site. “Eagle Heights Resort” This popular Mountain Resort on Tamborine / Oxenford Road boasts fantastic uninterrupted views, offers plenty of parking and is open to anyone. “Magnetic Drive” Views are partly obstructed by trees. There is a large turning circle at the end, also offering limited parking. Lookout, Gold Coast. views, bush walking, Mount Tamborine Views to the Gold Coast… “Licuala Drive” Take great care when navigating the steep and narrow road, there is no room for parking on the street itself, visitors can enjoy the views after a short stroll uphill after parking where the road turns into “Justin Avenue” “Golf Course Road” Again care needs to be taken when stopping to admire the views, a short walk from where cars can be parked will be necessary. “Guanaba Road” Being located on one of the busiest roads to Tamborine Mountain, this vantage point tends to cause traffic problems. Please park well off the road, and consider resident’s privacy. Source: www.discovertamborine.com/tamborine-national-park/lookouts/
