From Olympic Pde next to Leuralla Gardens in Leura, this short walk heads down to Elysian Rock Lookout, a fenced, small narrow lookout sitting high on the cliff edge. There are great view across the valley to Mount Solitary, the 'back' of the Three Sisters and to Narrow Neck. 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.

Articles

Elysian Rock
Elysian Rock is a fenced, small, narrow lookout on a rock buttress. The floor is mostly uneven, natural sandstone and there is a bench seat with no shade. The lookout is right at the edge of the cliff and gives a great view straight across the Jamison Valley and out to Mount Solitary. Narrow Neck and the 'back' of the Three Sisters are visible on the right-hand side, and Sublime Point on the left. The lookout is along the Prince Henry Cliff Walk, just west of a concrete bridge spanning a chasm and near the end of Elysian Place, Leura.
