Viewpoints in Brisbane

Mount Coot-tha Lookout sits at 287 metres elevation, about 7 km west of the CBD, and provides the most sweeping panoramic view in Brisbane — from the Glass House Mountains in the north to the gold-sand beaches of Moreton Bay in the east.

The Wheel of Brisbane is a 60-metre observation wheel situated at South Bank, offering fully enclosed, air-conditioned gondolas with panoramic views of the Brisbane River, CBD skyline, and distant hinterland mountains.

The Kangaroo Point Cliffs are a dramatic 20-metre basalt cliff face on the southern bank of the Brisbane River, directly opposite the CBD. A riverside boardwalk, climbing walls, and grassy parklands make it a popular sunset and recreation spot.
