PICTURE PERFECT VIEW

-

Heading home, turn on to Tomewin Mountain Rd and stop at Freeman Lookout. Named after a banana pioneer of the early 1900s, this lookout on the Queensland side was the site of the banana flying fox — the transporta­tion mode of the day to haul bananas up the steep mountain slopes for transport to the markets. The lookout provides spectacula­r views over the Currumbin Valley and Border Ranges – spot Mount Cougal, Boyd’s Butte and the sheer walls of Mt Durran. You can also see Springbroo­k plateau in the background and the ocean.
