Gordon Falls Lookout Walk

This short, pleasant bushwalk from Leura leads to the Gordon Falls Lookout. As the name suggests, there are view of Gordon Falls, as well as a great view along the escarpment to Sublime Point, across to Mount Solitary and over to the Three Sisters. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dharug & Gundungurra people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
