BACKSTORY: McMahons Lookouts’ are two observation points on the top of the cliff line on the most south point of Kings Tableland. Near these lookouts was the access track into the Burragorang Valley from the Kings Tableland. The packhorse track was in use from the 1860s and was upgraded to horse and cart in the 1870s. In the 1920s it was a road and known as the “one in four” gradient. The first men to travel on this track to Wentworth Falls were George and William Pearce. John McMahon moved into the Burragorang Valley in 1824 as a bonded employee of Denis Green. If you're looking for a great place for a walk, and have some picnic spots this could be the one.
