"Cahill's Lookout "
Voted one of the best lookouts in the Blue Mountains It is no wonder that Cahills Lookout was voted one of the best lookouts in the spectacular and World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains. With its undeniably spectacular views of wilderness and lush forest, this not-so-popular lookout is the ultimate serenity away from tourist bus crowds and overall crowds. It also offers something different from most of the Blue Mountain lookouts. What makes Cahills Lookout quite special is that it is one of the very few lookouts in the Blue Mountains that offers views of the Megalong Valley, as most lookouts in the region overlook the Jamison Valley. The short and easy 500-metre walk from the carpark features a few steep stairs
