Mount Duo

Mount Duo is a modest, densely rainforest-clad summit in the Seaview Range of far north Queensland, mapped against the rural Lannercost locality in the Shire of Hinchinbrook, about 18 kilometres north-west of the cane town of Ingham. It is a quiet peak rather than a developed lookout: no walking track, signposted summit or visitor facilities are attached to it, and the closest named landmarks belong to the wilder escarpment country just to its west and south. Its real appeal is where it sits. On the Geoscience Australia topographic sheet for Wallaman Falls, Mount Duo appears shoulder to shoulder with the Seaview Range's other summits—Mount George, Mount Facing, Mount Farquharson and Mount Lee—and among the creeks, falls and state forest that make up the Herbert River catchment. For travellers, that means this corner of the Wet Tropics fringe is best experienced through the neighbouring highlights that do have formed trails and lookouts, with Mount Duo giving the high country its name on the map.
