This excellent lookout is best accessed from the Kyema Track, starting at the small car park at the end of Eyre Rd, reached from Ridge Rd. Good views across the eastern and northern suburbs to the CBD and beyond. The Memorial Cairn and Info board about the Kyema air disaster is nearby. Photos of June 4, 2017.
Bourke's Lookout is on the top of Mt Corhanwarrabul, which at 628m is the second highest peak in the Dandenong Ranges National Park.
The first European to climb it was Daniel Bunce, a botanist, in 1839, with a party of Aborigines.
It is on the western flank, giving superb views across Melbourne and as far out as the Macedon Ranges.
Three of Melbourne's TV transmitters are located on the peak - Channels 2, 7 and 9.
Access to the lookout is from the east, via the 2 km circuit foot-track, (Kyeema Track), which continues westerly down the mountain to the Doongala Section of the Park.
