Natural Attractions

Wild Horse Mountain Lookout

Wild Horse Mountain Lookout is the pergola on top of a hill that stands out against the skyline as one drives north. The turnoff is located 30 kilometres north of Brisbane just off the Bruce Highway near Caboolture. Named after the wild brumbies which roamed the area, Wild Horse Mountain stands 123 metres above sea level. Telstra and the Department of Primary Industries jointly provided this wonderful and informative viewing and fire tower platform. Walk the steep 700 metres paved uphill pathway and when you reach the top be rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views across Pumicestone Passage and Bribie and Moreton Islands. The forest stretches below as a sea of green and the unique shape of the Glasshouse Mountains extends across the horizon. On a clear day, you can see to Brisbane. Interpretive boards inform the visitor of the features of the surrounding area, and this is a great spot to take a rest and soak up the view before the leisurely (but steep) stroll back down to the car park. Take your belongings with you and a bottle of water!

Running Duck Studio

Private by design. Art by invitation. Behind the doors of LRB Retreat lies an intimate private gallery set within a beautifully characterful country residence. Here, contemporary ink works by Running Duck Studio are displayed among dark timber walls, polished floors, original architectural details and the warmth of an elegant country home.

For guests staying at LRB Retreat, the experience becomes even more private. During your stay, the gallery is closed to outside visitors, giving you exclusive access to the gallery spaces and the collection within. Take your time. Discover the works at your own pace. Return to a favourite piece in the changing light. Let the setting become part of the experience. No crowds. No commercial gallery bustle.
