World War II Lookout with View of Townsville

Highlight • Historical Site

The summit of Castle Hill has numerous lookouts, including this one, which has a WWII era bunker.

Tip by

1.40 km

It's hard to pick the best lookout on Castle Hill, but Hynes Lookout has to be in the running. It faces eastward which gives you a great view over the city, water, and out to Magnetic Island in the distance.
