Mount Tempest track is on Moreton Island National Park, which features crystal clear creeks and lagoons, coastal heath, rocky headlands, abundant wildflowers, tall sand dunes, an historic lighthouse, ruins of coastal forts and miles of sandy beaches. Tidal wetlands and waters around the island are protected as part of Moreton Bay Marine Park.
Not for the faint-hearted, the Mount Tempest lookout track features a steep climb to a summit measuring 280 metres in elevation.
Expect many steps. Seats are provided along the way and at the lookout. Hike through stands of gums and grasstrees to a mountain-top lookout, stopping to catch your breath 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 island’s Indigenous People and their unique connection with this landscape from signs at the lookout.
