Mount Archer National Park
Mount Archer
A hilltop lookout east of Rockhampton with views over the whole city and the Fitzroy River, plus rainforest walks.
Mount Archer rises to about 600 metres just east of Rockhampton. The Frazer Park lookout at the summit overlooks the city, the Fitzroy River valley and the plains beyond. It is beautiful at sunset and at night. The national park has several trails, from short loops to long walks down the mountain through eucalypt woodland and dry rainforest. There are picnic tables and barbecue facilities at the top. The drive up from the city takes about 20 minutes. The road has many bends, and watch out for kangaroos at night.
