Who else is addicted to a good view? I sure know that I am and it’s a must whenever I visit a new place! The Mt. Coot-Tha lookout is suppose to be one of the best views of Brisbane and I’ve been dying to check it out.

The Mt. Coot-Tha is more like a hill than a mountain, but who cares with a view like that? And the second best part (after the view, of course) is that you don’t even need to walk to get to the lookout so there’s no effort at all. Unless you get off at the Botanic Gardens and misses the next bus.. Hrm.. it could happen.. just saying. All you need otherwise, is either a car or to jump on the direct bus from the Brisbane city center. Super easy!

The mountain is relatively far away to get an optimal view of the city. I know that some of you view-snobs out there are used to something a little more spectacular, but this is as good as it gets and it’s still nice. Brisbane is a pretty small city as you can see and the city center is obviously all of the tall buildings in the middle.

It was plenty of other people waiting around for the sunset, but it was not very crowded. There’s also a restaurant and a cafe on the Mt. Coot-Tha lookout.
