Starting from the end of Repeater Station Road, Springbrook, this short walk takes you to the Best of All Lookout and back via a bitumen track, exploring the woodland of Numinbah Nature reserve along the way. The lookout has quite the name, and it manages to impress every visitor even if it’s not the best lookout they've visited. Expect a 180-degree panoramic view over the Tweed Valley, with great looks of Mount Warning and Byron Bay as well. You’ll also be able to inspect the gorgeous Antarctic Beech Trees along the track. There is an abundance of birdlife in the area, so keep an eye out for various species including Albert’s Lyrebird. You’ll be walking under the rainforest canopy until you come to the lookout. Keep in mind that the area is quite popular, so come early to avoid the crowd and have the place to yourself. Although it can be quite cloudy if you come too early. 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.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
