Perched on the rim of the Springbrook Plateau, Best Of All Lookout delivers one of the most spectacular panoramic vistas in the Gold Coast hinterland. Located within the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests, this premier vantage point offers safe, easily accessible viewing platforms. From the edge, the landscape opens up to reveal sweeping views of the coastline, the surrounding foothills, and northern New South Wales, all dominated by the dramatic silhouette of Mount Warning—the ancient lava plug of the extinct Tweed shield volcano.
The short walk to the platform is an immersive journey through time, guiding you through a rare, ancient pocket of Antarctic beech (Nothofagus) forest. This living remnant of prehistoric Australia thrives in the plateau's unique cool climate, though the high altitude means the lookout is frequently shrouded in dramatic cloud cover. For the clearest, most breathtaking views across the caldera, the best time to experience this natural wonder is on crisp, smoke-free days.
