One of the best lookouts in the mountains, it has 330 degree views into Megalong and Kanimbla valleys.

From here you can view the whole of the Megalong Valley in all its glory. It would also be great at sunset....

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.

A must see lookout at the end of Shipley Rd, Blackheath. Magnificent views to the south. A great place for sunsets and stargazing on clear nights, especially in winter. While you're in the area, if it's open, drop into Logan Brae orchard for fresh apples and apple juice.

Head to Blackheath and turn left at Govetts Leap Rd across the railway and left again towards the Shipley Plateau passing local apple orchards. There are magnificent views over the Megalong Valley from the lookout.
