Loved the views, all of them, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen signs for ‘lookout’ some places here in the states. But your lookouts really aren’t FLAT! I think I only saw two out of all of those where there wasn’t a hill or mountain or at least a mesa in the distance somewhere. Being from the Pacific Northwest, I thought I wouldn’t survive the first time we stayed in ‘the flatlands’. I’ve learned that I can, but when we get back to the west I always breathe a happy sigh of rediscovery! There is nothing here in Florida — no elevation at all in the distance.

Eungella NP was weird for us, got the car fixed in Mackay, aww, thanks for those memories! :-)
#1 - we lost a pan there, oh, my! :-)
(we picked it up)
#2 Sandflies and friendly guys at the tourist-info giving me tea-tree-oil for free...
Love #6 best, never been there, though (poor guys living there! All the money for living in something like a zoo...)
What is #8 warning you about?
#13...Flinders Ranges, we went through the "small" track? I wanted a helicopter to pick me up, LOL! Was too tired and worn out to eat afterwards!

I’ve been to Point Lookout lots and its about 50/50 that it will be foggy, it’s worth another visit as the view down the Bellinger Valley to the sea is spectacular.

I have only been to nr. 10 at Kalbarri, and will visiting it again in March when my daughter and partner visit from France. When I saw it, was in the middle of winter, and the river was dry.
Another beautiful lookout in the Blue mountains in NSW – The Three Sisters, that I talk about in my last post.

Fabulous photos! I have only been to one of these and that is Nature’s Window at Kalbarri – what an amazing place! We went there in September 2012 and just loved it – it was stunning and I felt my photos didn’t do it justice!

Did you leave any lookouts for the rest of us? looks like you have them all covered. The highest mountain in Florida is Space Mountain in Disney I think. These look a lot more fun but I bet the ride up on some of these will make you just as queasy.

Hi Red, what a coincidence. We were at the lookout at Dorrigo on the weekend. All part of the same National Park system and only a few klms from Point Lookout. Also you did not name the first lookout in your post. I know you know but for others it is the Eungella Chalet Lookout near the village at Eungella at the top of the range behind Mackay, Qld. Cheers…

Gorgeous photos, OZ. The views are spectacular from all the lookouts. Would love to see the places for myself.
