Point Lookout is also the name of a popular spot for visitors in the New England National Park. You can get there by driving along the Point Lookout Road, which connects to Waterfall Way. It's about 85 kilometers (53 miles) east of Armidale and 75 kilometers (47 miles) from Dorrigo, close to Ebor.
From the lookouts, you can see amazing views! On a clear day, you can look east across the Bellinger River valley all the way to the coast of New South Wales and even the Tasman Sea.
Banksia Point Cabins
Just a short 10-minute walk south from the main lookout, you'll find a place called Banksia Point. Here, there are some cozy cabins and a hut. You can rent these from the National Parks and Wildlife Service if you want to stay overnight in the park. It's a great way to experience nature up close!
