Point Lookout

Point Lookout is a stunning mountain located in the New England National Park, part of the Snowy Range, which is a spur of the Great Dividing Range.

It is situated on the eastern edge of the Northern Tablelands in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. This mesmerizing mountain has an altitude of 1,564 metres (5,131 ft) above sea level, making it the second highest peak in the region. The Point Lookout Road is the main visitor location in the New England National Park, offering visitors an unforgettable experience of the spectacular views over the Bellinger River valley. The road is accessed via Waterfall Way, approximately 85 kilometres (53 mi) east of Armidale and 75 kilometres (47 mi) from Dorrigo, near Ebor.

Point Lookout's lookout points boast views of the breathtaking escarpment, east across the Bellinger River valley and out to the more developed areas of the north coast of New South Wales, and on the clearest day out to the Tasman Sea. The stunning environment allows for relaxing and scenic picnics amidst the natural beauty of the mountain.

A ten-minute walk south of the escarpment leads to Banksia Point, where visitors can find a number of cozy cabins and a hut for hire. These accommodating spaces are available from the National Parks and Wildlife Service for short term stays in the park.
