This lookout is a short walk from the Gwongorella Picnic Ground, providing an elevated vantage point near the top of the escarpment. From the platform, you can look across the gorge toward the waterfall as it plunges roughly 100 metres into the rainforest valley below, with views extending over the surrounding hinterland. It's one of the easiest ways to experience the scale of the falls without completing the full circuit walk.
