Table Top mountain on the edge of Toowoomba, provides views of the Lockyer Valley and surrounding. The climb itself can be quite demanding with a lot of large steps over the Camel's Hump and a scramble just before the summit. But the reward at the top, with a circuit all the way around, provides a spectacular vista.
