Mitchells Ridge Lookout
Highlights
Step back in time at Mitchells Ridge Lookout, an historic site named after Sir Thomas Mitchell, who supervised the construction of Victoria Pass by convict labour in 1832. This lookout offers breathtaking views of the sandstone ramparts and the surrounding area.
Visit the obelisk commemorating the opening of Victoria Pass and enjoy a picnic while learning about one of Australia’s oldest engineering marvels still in use today. It’s a fantastic place to combine history and scenic beauty!
Adult Supervision RecommendedThe lookout’s historical structures and steep areas make adult supervision necessary for safety.
