Kluvers Lookout

Welcome to Kluvers Lookout, a remarkable establishment located in the breathtaking D'Aguilar National Park, nestled in the heart of Queensland's Moreton Bay Region, specifically in Laceys Creek. As an esteemed landmark, point of interest, and tourist attraction, Kluvers Lookout offers an inspiring experience for all visitors.

D'Aguilar National Park is renowned for its diverse environments and thriving plant communities. Immerse yourself in the beauty of open eucalypt woodlands, scribbly gum forests, and lush subtropical rainforests. With over 800 plant species, including rare and threatened ones, the park provides a botanical wonderland.

The park's cool mountain tops and forest flats create a haven for a variety of wildlife. The temperate mountain climate fosters the growth of ferns and mosses, while the mountain streams are home to enchanting creatures like giant barred frogs and spiny crayfish. At night, the tall open forest comes alive with the activity of yellow-bellied gliders and short-eared possums. Keep an eye out for magnificent owls, such as the vulnerable powerful owl, as they hunt small animals like possums and snakes. Bird enthusiasts will be delighted by the abundant birdwatching opportunities, with bowerbirds, wompoo fruit-doves, bell miners, and yellow-tailed black-cockatoos gracing the forest with their presence.

For an up-close encounter with native animals, make sure to visit the Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre. This comprehensive complex features a visitor information centre, wedding centre, café, and Wildlife Centre, where you can marvel at the area's incredible wildlife.

As stewards of this precious environment, we kindly ask visitors to follow guidelines to ensure the preservation of the D'Aguilar Range and its wildlife.
