Nth Stradbroke Island - Tripod Lookout and beyond
About the Track
Track Description

The track log starts and ends at Point Lookout.

The 4WD track starts just west of the Amity Point turnoff (details of this turn-off are well described in \'Dirty Weekends\') and ends on the main East-West Road between Dunwich and the east coast beach. The drive is a relatively easy run. The occassional deeper sand \'patch\' blown across the track makes for a little fun and brings momentum to the fore... but easily traversed with a little momentum in high range.

The first stop is Tripod Lookout. From here you can see much of North Stradbroke Island, as well as (on a clear day) see the Brisbane CBD to the west.

Progressing south along the track you\'ll see a variety of vegetation typical of a sand island.

Returning to Dunwich via Brown Lake. A short 4WD track to the eastern side of the lake will provide a relatively quiet (no 2WD accesss) opportunity to swim in the freshwater lake without crowds.
