One of the best lookouts in the mountains, it has 330 degree views into Megalong and Kanimbla valleys.
A pleasant drive to the western end of Shipley Plateau passing local apple orchards, leads to Hargraves Lookout and magnificent views over the rural Megalong Valley. At the very end of Shipley Plateau is Mount Blackheath, a popular hang-gliding site from a purpose-built ramp near the lookout at 1076 metres. If the conditions are right, gliders soar over the Kanimbla Valley and can sometimes reach Bathurst.

From here you can view the whole of the Megalong Valley in all its glory. It would also be great at sunset....
Beautiful views over the Megalong Valley. You can even see the Hydro Majestic and your Airbnb in the distance! The road to the lookout is unsealed, but should be fine for most cars.
One of the better lookouts in the Blue Mountain in terms of the view. Very historic location with and old stacked stone picnic cabana and open fire pits. A delightful lookout that provides sweeping panoramic views of the Megalong Valley. Only 10-15 minutes drive from the town centre and is well worth it! The road from the town of Blackheath does get a bit narrow and windy on the way to the lookout, the last section of the road is unsealed. However , the road is in good condition and easy for any car to manage.
