About Wild Horse Mountain Lookout
Wild Horse Mountain Lookout is a hilltop scenic viewpoint off the Bruce Highway at Coochin Creek on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Perched atop a 123-metre hill, it offers 360-degree panoramic views over Pumicestone Passage, Bribie Island, the Glass House Mountains and the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Accessed via a short steep paved walk from a highway rest area, it is a popular stop for travellers between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast for sightseeing and photography.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a short but steep 700m return paved walk with steps from the Bruce Highway car park to a fenced lookout platform at the summit. The summit provides open 360-degree views over Pumicestone Passage, Bribie Island, Glass House Mountains, coastal lowlands and hinterland. The site is an open-air day-use area with picnic tables and interpretive signage at the base, surrounded by open eucalypt forest. No shops or cafes are at the lookout itself.
