  • Steep walking leading to panoramic views, no mozzies today. Maybe bring binoculars. Because of 100 word minimum bring water

  • We drove to the carpark and a sign advised a 30 min walk grade 3 to get to the lookout. We had not allowed the time and did not have proper shoes so sadly we missed the opportunity. Be prepared!

  • Great lookout. But quite steep to get to the top difinatly need to be fit. Lots of steps. Recommended take water and spray for mosquito's before you head up. Brilliant view when you do make it.
  • One of our fav spots when in Forster. It’s a nice little hike up to the top with beautiful views of Forster. Definitely take mosquito repellent, sunscreen & lots of water! Just wish you were able to see the lake side. Would be nice if they built it up one more level!
  • A pleasant hike up the track, a few stairs of the tower, an there it is.. the most awesome view of forster/Tuncurry coast an towns.. shame the trees have grown up.. but still worth the trip..
  • It's a perfect lookout, however you need to be fairly fit as there are quite a few steps to get there as well as 4 flights up to the vantage point itself. Worth it for the views.
  • Good view one way of Forster, not much to see the other way except tree canopy. It's a bit of a gruelling trek up copper log stairs to get there.
