The Hummock (Sloping Hummock) Lookout
The Hummock
The only raised hill on the flat coastal plain, an extinct volcano whose summit overlooks a patchwork of green cane fields, the Bargara coast and the Coral Sea.
The Hummock is an ancient extinct volcano that stands out sharply on the flat coastal plain. The black basalt reefs along the Bargara coast trace back to eruptions from this area. You can drive right up to the summit lookout, where a patchwork of cane fields in varying shades spreads below, with the town of Bargara, the Burnett River mouth and the coastline in the distance. Sunsets and the cane-burning season are especially beautiful. Entry is free. It sits between Bundaberg and Bargara, so a stop of 15 to 30 minutes on the way between them is enough.
