The James M McKane Memorial Lookout is one of many reasons to explore more of Cooran. This lovely country town is located in a lush valley and is filled with exciting and beautiful attractions. After the lookout, check out the Mothar Mountain State Forest, which has swimming holes perfect for dipping after discovering its beauty on foot. However, many of these destinations require a four-wheel drive to get to, but it’s worth it.
