HISTORY: Rocket Point is one of the oldest constructed lookouts in the region. It got its name from the habit of rockets being regularly set off. The exact reason isn't known. One reason was that the rockets were a signal to a workman's wife that he was on his way home. Another was that it was a signal to workers below as a point of registration/navigation. Squire Stephen Alton said: "Local historian told me the rockets were to signal to folk out on Mount Solitary... hard to know for sure, but I like the romance of the tale." Option: From here you can walk down to the bottom of Wentworth Falls: https://www.facebook.com/AskRozBlueMountains/posts/pfbid02kRpXNz3z9SR6AKBNzzmBxht72kSijKArUTk4C3N8bpm7TfAr1r9BKdgBzhdzb3gKl MORE info: https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/rocket-point-lookout-track
