Description

Just a short drive from the city's CBD, the State heritage-listed Picnic Point Parklands provide breathtaking panoramic views eastward to Table Top Mountain and the Lockyer Valley. At night, the glow of Brisbane city lights can be seen from the iconic Picnic Point Lookout, perched high on the crest of the Great Dividing Range. The lookout area is the highest point of Picnic Point Parklands. It features a long, curved retaining wall which acts as a promenade for visitors to soak in the spectacular distant views and snap some sensational photos. A directional plaque housed on a stone plinth, a paved area, manicured lawns and gardens also form part of the parkland environs. For adventurous visitors, there is a series of walking trails along the escarpment that offer a variety of interesting places to explore. No camping or overnight parking.
