  • A little known look out spot which is quiet and stunning. Dirt road is fine for sedans. The Wind Eroded Cave is also great to see while there.

  • With the 5km or so of unsealed road with lots of pot holes. Extensive views over Gross valley to the north towards Mount Wilson and towards the east. 5 min walk from carpark. Good railings which are needed. Also check out Wind Eroded Cave on the other side of car park. No facilities.
  • A brilliant spot no matter when you see it. A clear day offers views up and down the Grose, a misty morning sets a whole different mood for the area.
  • It’s tempting just to skip this little turn-off and keep going to Perry’s look down - but it’s only 500m and this lookout is more spectacular imho. And the walk from the carpark really is only 2 mins, so don’t let that stop you lazies.
  • Unreal views at the top. We shouted kuwi at the top of our lungs and could hear some echoes back. On the walk up, you'll see some trees with black trunks and branches - of which I heard they were struck by lightning some time back. And yet... after a while - the leaves started growing again. Amazing!
  • It was a foggy day so we could not enjoy the beautiful view. We enjoyed the cloud 9 experience while dancing with the cloud instead
