Hummock Lookout

An extinct volcanic remnant rises 96 metres above the flat cane country between Bundaberg and the coast at Qunaba, off the road to Bargara — modest in height but enough for views over the whole district. The ocean lies to the east; to the west, sugar fields circle the city with the smoke stacks of the Bundaberg distillery and mill on the horizon. The Taribelang Bunda people called this country Woongarra and the hill their burning mountain, and a large Aboriginal art mural at the site tells the story of Paddys Island, still visible offshore from the lookout.
