Hinchinbrook Lookout
A lookout on the Bruce Highway where it crosses the Cardwell Range, overlooking mangrove channels and the peaks of Hinchinbrook Island.
The lookout is about 19 km north of Ingham, on the eastern side of the Bruce Highway pass across the Cardwell Range, at an elevation of roughly 126 m. From here you can see the winding mangrove waterways of Hinchinbrook Channel, the serrated granite peaks of the island opposite, and sugarcane fields at the foot of the hills. Side roads lead in from both north and south. The car park can accommodate caravans, and there are an interpretive shelter and benches. A short trail leads to the nearby Panzhu viewpoint. Admission is free, and it is an easy stop on the drive between Ingham and Cardwell.
