Natural features
This lookout contains superb views of Adventure Bay from Cape Queen Elizabeth south through to Fluted Cape. Inland there are views to kunanyi and the mountains of the South-West Wilderness World Heritage area. To sea are views across to the Tasman Peninsula which contains some of the world's tallest sea-cliffs
Track details
From the car park, a board-walk takes you up more than 200 steps to the top of a grassy dune which affords sweeping views. You can also follow the boardwalk down to the magnificent ‘Neck Beach’ a sweeping more than 15km long beach that runs from Cape Queen Elizabeth to Bligh Rocks. Bruny Island was the home of a remarkable Nuenonne woman called Truganini who had a deep connection to this land, and whose life is marked by a small memorial at the top of this walk.
