We were staying in Blackheath so I decided to go to Govett’s Leap Lookout to watch the sun rise.
There were quite a few people watching the sunrise. Such an awesome spot to see the sunrise up through the valley.
The view over the falls is just fabulous. There is a nice picnic area and a track that goes down into the valley below. There is another track that goes round to Evans Lookout. It was very wet and muddy so that idea was shelved.
Great views down the valley through all the interweaving cliff outcrops. When we were here in early Feb white bags of new stone had been brought in, presumably for path repairs and a couple of pathways were closed as a result. Facilities available and parking just 20 metres from the view.
its almost 360 degree view of valley and very soothing to sit there and watch birds flying lower than you.
The landscape is amazing and lots of view points. Many of the tracks from Govetts leap are closed due to maintenance. There are other walks available at different levels. The is a track suitable for prams and wheelchairs. Sturdy shoes are essential
The view from the rustic lookout across the Grose Valley to the distant rugged mountains, with a long, spidery waterfall to the right, is simply spectacular and a magnificent example of the grandeur of the Blue Mountains and the Australian bush. Easily accessible and also the start of some great walks.
