Coffee and cake within 5 minutes walk of the Gar - at Lookout Cafe. Rarely does it get much better than this, with magnificent views overlooking mango trees, open paddocks and grazing families of kangaroos. And if you want to walk off some of that cake afterwards, it is only a 10 minute walk up the road to the famous Glass House Lookout with its 270 degree vista of the Glass House Mountains, Sunshine Coast, Pumicestone Passage and Bribie Island. |
