Panorama Point Lookout

MONDAY WALK - Panorama Point at Hargraves Lookout Blackheath. It's a historic walk along a 300m ridge line. The track out to the lookout is fairly rough in patches, and it does drop away on both sides so take care. Here: https://w3w.co/endless.guarding.despairing This is not a good walk on a windy day. KEY POINTS • Distance: 600m return • Time: 30-40 mins return • Best time of the day: Any time • Kid-safe: Yes with supervision, but not little ones • Dogs on-leash: Yes, but you shouldn't • Steps: Lots • Accessible: No • Heights: Trick most of the way • Must do rating out of 10: 10 ACCESS: Park at Hargraves lookout, and walk down to the lower west-facing lookout and turn left following a very minor track.

Nearby Mount Blackheath is a better option. TIP: Visit the lookout and enjoy the views and the walk out the Panorama Point, then drive over to nearby Mount Blackheath and picnic there. It has great picnic facilities and different, wonderful views.

Shipley too was developing as a tourist destination with Hargraves Lookout being opened on 17 March 1915. In the 1920s tourist attractions were increased at Shipley with the signposting of Amphitheatre Lookout in 1928, and the opening of Mount Blackheath Lookout in 1929. Panorama Point Lookout was opened later in 1935. But most tourism development in the 1930s returned to the east side of the railway line. The most famous vantage point, Govetts Leap Lookout, was named in 1934. ________________________ 𝙁𝙄𝙉𝘿 𝙂𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙎 𝙏𝙊 𝙎𝙀𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘿𝙊 in less than 60 seconds 📚📖 www.askroz.news/BM-Experiences https://www.facebook.com/AskRozBlueMountains/posts/pfbid0sBYUBBSK6a14r2EiUJjhu65LE7QyvRBqAiDznS5eunWxrYWx1WzC6wfACwMCnygyl;
