Reviewed By Skootamattaken - Kingston, Canada
This is one of the best vantage points for scenic views across Grose Valley, taking in Blue Gum Forest and Govetts Leap in Blue Mountains National Park. There are many signposts to give you guidance which trail to take, their difficulty of grade, length and distance. Birding is quite good here too. Don't forget to bring your camera! Free admission.
2. Drawing Room Rocks

Reviewed By TMacintyre - Wanniassa, Australia
Great short walk near Berry & Kangaroo Valley, 3km's return, depending on fitness level about 1hr return. There are some moderate uphill sections but the walk is generally easy. The track is clearly defined and fun walking underneath the sub-tropical canopy. The views over the Illawarra are spectacular, along with the unique rock formations. Keep kids and dogs on leash there are severe drop-offs at the top.

Grab a few drinks and some snacks, take a blanket, and arrive about half an hour before sunset to score a spot overlooking Boar's Head and Narrow Neck Plateau. It's really magical to see the cliffs lit up in the fiery red of the sunset. Perfect way to say farewell to the sun.

Reviewed By Subodhsj - Sydney, Australia
This place is full of beauty and amazing views, there are different walks to explore these points, you can try 30mins to 4hours walk. Park your car near Picnic area or get there by bus and walk through Jasmine lookout and walking track towards Wentworth fall, you may see small cascades depending on weather. Best time to visit is light rain, do not try this place in heavy rains. If you are trying more than 30mins walk have some food and water with you for quick energy. Keep watching sign boards to follow direction.

Really enjoyed an easy 40 minute walk from the NPWS office to Govett’s Leap lookout. Peaceful forest, with many bottlebrush and acacia flowers to enjoy, finishing with the spectacular view from the lookout, with Bridal Veil falls to the right and Pulpit Rock straight ahead. The power of this landscape is so much more impressive when there’s so little human intrusion. Went to Pulpit Rock the next day.

9. Hassan's Wall

Reviewed By jamesn883 - Katoomba, Australia
I have driven along the highway below the Hassan’s Walls many times, but decided that it was time to explore further. The weather was ideal and with the advice from the Lithgow Visitors Information Centre we headed to the lookout. While the last couple of kilometres are gravel, the lookout would be accessible to virtually all vehicles. It is certainly worth the drive. Excellent photographic opportunities here, and an excellent picnic spot for travellers. The raised walkway makes the views readily accessible for wheelchairs, strollers, etc.
10. Fort Bourke Hill Lookout

Reviewed By 244peted - New South Wales, Australia
We stayed in Cobar overnight and as we left saw the directions to the lookout. It’s only a short detour off the main road. It’s well worth the visit, the entrance road is bitumen so the access is easy. The entrance to the lookout is behind the water tank, whilst it’s all fenced for safety it provides great views in to the deep pit and the town in the background. The lookout is relatively high so you also get fantastic 360 views of the surrounding bush.
