Andrew Laurie Lookout

WH3W+WG
Gloucester Tops NSW 2422
Australia

The best lookout at Gloucester Tops.

From Gloucester Falls picnic area, the track to Gloucester Falls leads through sub-alpine woodlands of snow gums to Andrew Laurie Lookout.

This is one of the highest lookouts in Barrington Tops:

Careys Peak Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1545 metres
Thunderbolts Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1440 metres
Devils Hole Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1400 metres
Andrew Laurie Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1160 metres

Here you can gaze across the gorge with the Gloucester River deep below, and other rugged tree-lined gorges to the Mountaineer peak in the east.

A second lookout offers a vantage point overlooking the picturesque Gloucester Falls where the river plunges over the plateau to the valley below. The twin drops are breathtaking after rain.

Some areas of the parklands may have limited public access, check the NPWS alerts page for the latest info before you travel.

Amazing walk. We did the loop track which had an estimate of 3 to 5 hours in just over 2.5 hours. Fabulous scenery barely any other walkers and thoroughly enjoyable. We did not realise the drive in was 34 km of winding narrow dirt road crossing 6 fords along the way. This means it takes 1.5 hours of driving from Gloucester. We made it in a low profile small car.

Ideal For a day trip , awesome views from Barrington tops an over looking Gloucester and surroundings . Though you can always camp there in the camping grounds as we noticed on our journey there. Road is a bit narrow winding and gravel with a few ford crossings .but suited for suvs an four wheel drive. Once there you can have a picnic lunch before or after a trek of the lookout an trek to the waterfalls, roughly about 30 to 40 mins an take in the magnificent views.. or just take a swim in the pools of the running water from the Falls.. you won't be disappointed.

Requires a 50 minute drive across unsealed roads and through some causeways/fords (don't attempt after wet weather). The picnic area has a few covered tables and a drop toilet (the quality of the toilet paper was excellent... amazingly good quality for a national park). From the carpark is a very manageable walk to a lookout and the falls. It is very well sign-posted.
