Visited on Tuesday 11th September. We came across this lookout whilst on our way to Kuranda and the Atherton Tableland. Well worth stopping if you have the time and take in the great views from there.

An easy place to stop and enjoy the fantastic vista over Cairns.
It is also very convenient if you are towing a caravan (slowly) to pull over and let the traffic pass.

About half way up the range drive to Kuranda, Henry Ross Lookout is an easy pull-out stop to enjoy this commanding view

On the way to Kuranda this place you must stop to appreciate the views down to Cairns. Several parking spots are available.

Coming or going to Kuranda you can stop a few minutes to enjoy the beautiful views over Cairns.
The Lookout got recently upgraded with a new Fence and a Bench.
Unfortunately the Trees are getting a bit too tall, the view is not as good anymore, but still worth it to stop.

We stopped at this lookout, on our way to Kuranda. Very nice overview of the surrounding area. While it's only a 5 to 10 minute stop, it's nice.

The scenic Henry Ross Lookout is located at the Kuranda Range road's highest point, at an altitude of 430 metres. The lookout is named after the foreman in charge of building the road in 1939's. The lookout provides panoramic views of the Coral Sea, Cairns and it's northern beaches. It is a popular stop for tourists and can be rather busy and trickly to cross over to when heading up to Kuranda.
