Deep View Lookout

Starting from the car park at the end of Morialta Falls Road, Woodforde, this walk leads to Deep View Lookout and back via the Banksia Trail. This short and quick return trail starts by crossing the bridge over Fourth Creek, continuing for about 30 metres. At this point, walkers have the option of going straight ahead for a more leisurely walk which offers spectacular views and lots of wildflowers. If you're up for more of a challenge, take the trail to your right instead. The hike climbs steeply up towards the northern ridge to reach Deep View Lookout. There are some steep sections, but once up on the ridge, it's a pleasant walk back down again. Sturdy walking shoes are recommended, as the trail is very rough in places. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
