Wild Horse Mountain Fire Tower

Starting from the car park off Johnston Road, Coochin Creek, this walk takes you to the summit of Wild Horse Mountain and back via a singular track, exploring the eucalypt forest along the way. Prepare to be blown away by the truly unimpeded 360 degree views when you make it to the fire tower. The Glass House Mountains look so stunning from here that you may even think you’re looking at a high quality desktop background. You can read the interpretive signs provided to learn more about what you’re looking at. To the east, you’ll be able to see almost the entire coastline along with Moreton Island. The track may be short, but the steepness slightly makes it feel like you’ve earned these astonishing views. Bring some food to have one of the most scenic picnics you can have in Southeast Queensland. Try to catch the sunset here as the views become extra magical. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
