Jimna Fire Tower, Fire lookout tower in Jimna State Forest, Queensland, Australia

The Jimna Fire Tower reaches 47 meters in height and features a hexagonal cabin at the top with a timber staircase wrapping around the structure.

Built between 1975 and 1977 by Arthur Leis and his son, this tower replaced an earlier structure to monitor wildfires in local hoop pine plantations.

The structure represents a period of forest management innovation in Queensland, when fire detection methods advanced through strategic tower placement.

The base area contains parking spaces and picnic facilities, allowing visitors to rest while exploring the Somerset Region of Queensland.

The three-legged design, supported by ironbark poles set in concrete footings, makes this the tallest fire tower of its type in Queensland.
