About Starlight’s Lookout
Starlight's Lookout, located around 40 minutes from Longreach via the unsealed Muttaburra–Westside Road, offers panoramic views across Jumpup Country and a connection to one of Outback Queensland's most well-known stories. The lookout is linked to the legend of Captain Starlight, a historic cattle thief associated with the region. The site is believed to be where Starlight and his group camped while moving stolen cattle across the outback, adding a layer of storytelling to the landscape. Visitors can take in expansive views from the top of the jump-up, with sweeping vistas across the surrounding plains. The lookout is a popular spot for sunset, photography and experiencing the scale of the outback. Access involves a short climb, and suitable footwear and a moderate level of fitness are recommended. Starlight's Lookout is a worthwhile stop for travellers exploring the Longreach region, combining local history, storytelling and elevated views of Outback Queensland.
