Cawnpore Lookout & Lilleyvale Hills

View from Cawnpore Lookout, across the Kennedy Developmental Road

The Lilleyvale Hills are set on the edge of Winton Shire and Boulia Shire on the Kennedy Developmental Road. The Lookout is approximately 51 kilometres west of Middleton. Spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding Hills can be seen from here. The Lookout is well sign-posted and is well-worth the stop on the way through.

The view of the Lilleyvale Hills from Cawnpore Lookout is the high point on the drive between Winton to Boulia, already one of the most spectacular scenic drives in Queensland. The road winds its way through Jump Up and Channel Country and Mitchell Grass Downs, which highlights the diversity of landscapes in the heart of Queensland.

Shearers' Strike

Winton was one of the main centres of unrest during the shearers' strikes of 1891 and 1894. During the Great Strike, the town was placed under martial law and some 500 men camped just south of the town.
