Wheelchair and stroller-friendly path to another great view in Barrington Tops.

You’ll feel like you’re on the edge of the known world while standing on Devils Hole Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park.

This is one of the highest lookouts in Barrington Tops:

  1. Careys Peak Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1545 metres
  2. Thunderbolts Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1440 metres
  3. Devils Hole Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1400 metres
  4. Andrew Laurie Lookout in Barrington Tops National Park: 1160 metres

Suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, the easy paved track winds from Devils Hole picnic area to a lookout platform with magnificent views over the vast World Heritage-listed wilderness.

Between Scone and Gloucester, it’s a brilliant leg stretcher and picnic spot on a car tour of this unique region.

From the lookout, you’ll be standing where the mountains touch the sky. The snow-grassed montane woodland of the gentle Barrington plateau stretches behind, while dense forests, wild gorges and ridges of the Barrington wilderness lie below. On a clear day, the view extends to the coast, over 90 km to the east.

If the clear mountain air has kickstarted your appetite, stroll back and unpack the hamper at the picnic area. If you’re hungry for more scenery, try nearby Thunderbolts Lookout.

As a wedding photographer who loves exploring and snapping fantastic photos outdoors, the Devil's Hole Lookout was a real find. The views are breathtaking, with dramatic cliffs and peaceful mountain scenes that are perfect for couples looking for an elopement adventure. My clients had such a romantic time here celebrating their small and intimate day with close friends. Devil's Hole Lookout is definitely one of the coolest spots I’ve been to. The scenery is just incredible and it's easy to get to since its trail doesn't require much effort. So, f you're looking for a place to enjoy nature and take some awesome pictures, you’ve got to check out Devil's Hole Lookout!

The best lookout in the area! We were lucky to spot a few yellow-tailed black cockatoos here. The track is super easy and flat to walk on. The view is gorgeous. Just enjoy it!

A shady picnic area with a paved track that takes you to the lookout area. The lookout platform rewards you with views across the valley with lush green trees. The walk is easy and suitable for all ages. Picnic area includes a picnic table as well as a fire pit.

This is the No1 pick of the Barrington Tops lookouts. If you’re after breath taking views, this is the place to see. Thunderbolts lookout gets a lot of coverage but it only has part of the views of Devils hole. It’s a shame about the name because the vista is the opposite of what I would consider a Devils Hole. This place has a toilet and an easy flat 100m walk to the platform. 2nd on the list for views is the ledge on the left just after The Dingo’s Gate and third is Thunderbolts lookout.

Absolutely stunning place. It makes me feel like I'm experiencing "the man from snowy mountains". Camping is fairly primitive, with just basic drop toilets. Amazing views of the milky way at night.
