Sir Thomas Gaffney Lookout

Great place to take dogs to roam freely and spectacular views

Been coming here since I was a kid.Great views - especially of River Fire.Also the only unfenced dog offleash area I am aware of.

Visited the lookout tonight - there is a 300m walk from where we parked to the lookout. It is in the dark, so bring a torch!Very pretty lookout views though!

It’s pretty nice around here. Nice view

Great views of the city. Highly recommended.

It is a dog park and strange dogs sometimes jump onto you. But you could come and walk around and around and around the reservoir and do your 10k steps for the day easily. Usually it is shady because of the trees around unless it is right at noon. Completely flat. No public toilet facilities. City view is quite nice. Could be windy. Wear your misquotes repellent.

If it had toilets it would score 5. Great flat 800m walking road around the Chapel Hill water tower. Can get very busy Sunday afternoons with every man and his dog. If your a local your bound to run into someone you know.

The address given is 203 Russell Terrace Chapel Hill, but the entrance to the drive-in entry and car park is Dellamara St, which intersects with Russell Tce.The lookout views are nothing spectacular, but it’s a quite and relaxing atmosphere surrounded by the beautiful Brisbane forest, local wildlife and an ever ongoing art feature that surrounds the structure that Sir Thomas Gaffney Lookout is on.I would definitely suggest coming here at dawn twilight, with a fresh cup of tea/coffee and watching the sunrise, as it slowly glistens morning light upon Brisbane.It’s a refreshing sight to see, and isn’t overwhelmingly crowded by the hundreds of tourists who will instead go to the Mt Coottha summit.

Not very good at all , thought we would try this one night and you have to park your car and walk a good way in pitch dark so we didn’t bother , as there were no other cars here it didn’t look safe

The best view of Brisbane without taking to the air. The lookout is surrounded by the bushland of Mount Coot-tha. There are numerous walking, hiking and cycling trails, most of which require a moderate level of fitness.The best times to visit are the golden hours of early morning and evening, but expect it to be busy throughout the day. It's very popular. There's a cafe and a restaurant. It's not extortionate, but it ain't cheap.
