Govetts Leap Lookout

About

Perched atop a high cliff overlooking the UNESCO-listed Blue Mountains, Govetts Leap Lookout has been a destination since the 1800s when the 'ozone-laden' air was promoted as a health tonic. Along with fresh air, the lookout has breathtaking views across the forested canyons of the Grose Wilderness, which was protected by early bushwalkers for future generations. And what's that to the south? A 180 meter high waterfall?! To see more of the native landscape, there's a number of bushtrails from the lookout which have some great viewpoints of their own, and offer a better chance to catch a glimpse of the vibrant king parrot or yellow tailed black cockatoo.
