Thunderbolts Lookout Walking Track
Highlights
Get ready to climb to the top of Thunderbolts Lookout for jaw-dropping 360-degree views! This fun walking track is named after Captain Thunderbolt, a famous bushranger. Along the way, you’ll see colourful wildflowers and might even spot a rare glossy black cockatoo flying overhead. How cool is that?
The last part of the walk is a bit of a challenge, with steps and a ladder to climb, but it’s totally worth it for the amazing views. After your adventure, relax with a picnic at the nearby Nomads picnic area. It’s a great spot for families who love a mix of adventure and relaxing in nature!
