Powers Lookout
Highlights
- Discover sweeping views of the King Valley from the rocky escarpment, perfect for stunning photographs and relaxation.
- Embark on a short walk to the second lookout, where ladders lead to breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape.
- Enjoy a picnic at the designated area, surrounded by nature and equipped with tables and toilets for convenience.
- Follow the path to a serene waterhole, where you can unwind amidst beautiful rocky ledges and native bushland.
The rocky escarpment high above the King Valley was the hideout of Harry Power, a notorious but ‘gentlemanly’ bushranger in the 1860s.
From the Mansfield-Whitfield Road, a three-kilometre trip along a gravel road brings you to a parking area with picnic tables and toilets.
Discover two lookout points providing sweeping views of the surrounding mountain and valley landscape.
The first lookout has wheelchair access.
For the second lookout, a short walk (0.4 kilometres) with a series of ladders takes you to a viewing platform at the northernmost point of the rocky outcrop.
It is easy to imagine why Power chose this site for a hideout.
There is also a 20-minute return walk through the bush to a waterhole amongst beautiful rocky ledges. Follow the path near the toilets in a westerly direction.
