Mount Tempest lookout track, Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) National Park

Mount Tempest lookout track is on Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) National Park and Moreton Island Recreation Area. Not for the faint-hearted, this track features a steep climb to a summit measuring 280 metres in elevation. Mount Tempest is the world's largest vegetated sand dune! Hike many steps up through stands of gums and grasstrees to a mountain-top lookout, stopping to catch your breath at seats along the way. After your steep climb, be rewarded with 360-degree views. Marvel at breathtaking panoramic views of the island and Moreton Bay Marine Park—on a clear day you can make out the volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains in the distance. Reflect upon the stories of the Quandamooka People and their unique connection with this landscape from signs at the lookout. This track is located in the centre of the island just north of the resort and can be accessed from the eastern and western beaches. You will need a 4WD for driving on the island. Four-wheel-drives with high clearance and low range function are strongly recommended. All-wheel-drive vehicles without true 4WD function and vehicles with low clearance will have difficulty along inland tracks and in soft sand, therefore we don't recommend them for Mulgumpin (Moreton Island).
