The lookout point is still here, although not marked. The concrete floored shelter that allowed easy shaded access for disabled, wheelchairs etc, has been removed for some reason.....but the fantastic views are of course still their. Great spot for a picnic, walk or to enjoy the views of the RJ Hamer Arboretum. There's a gravel carpark that in very dry weather, will have your car covered in dust. Lots of tracks in the area for walks or very popular for Mountain Biking. To the Western end of the carpark there are some shelters with seating and BBQs and plenty of shade. A really great spot to spend a short while enjoying the spectacular views on a sunny day with Silvan Reservoir, the Arboretum, Tesselars Tulips and many other local tourist spots a short drive away. Or spend the whole day with picnics, BBQs, walks, cycling etc.

Beautiful lookout area on a clear sunny day! Plenty of space to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

OMG, it is a must visit if you are in Melbourne, the trees are formed in a crazy beautiful way!! Magnificent, with the autumnal colours!!! It’s another story

It is a one of the most beautiful lookouts in Melbourne. It also has a walking trail which runs through deeper with the slope in the wild. It is a good place to sit relax and maybe play a bit and have fun with family. I went here with a friend of mine because we had just visited the tulip festival which happens about 5-10 mins drive away from here in Silvan. We were looking for more lookout spots which we can see around our location and we stumbled upon this beautiful location. I would highly recommend a visit, during a sunny day when skies are clear and blue. You can go with family and have a picnic.

Beautiful lookout just infront of the car park. Good place to have a relaxed picnic with family and friends.

So beautiful. We went for a walk around the place, then stopped and had a picnic looking at the beautiful view. It was a gorgeous day and I could see so far. It's a lovely spot, even if the road down there is a little steep!

A lookout which is not too far from Olinda. This has two huts with BBQ facilities. Toilets as well as parking is also available at this location.

This is a beautiful area, with an amazing range of different forest types. The facilities are nothing exceptional but the walks are awesome.

What an amazing place to take a quiet walk. The international plantings were fascinating. A different view from any angle. The tracks are not always well signposted, but that added to the adventure.

A great starting point for many beautiful walks. There are some picnic spots and public BBQ’s plus toilets close by. Lots of free parking.

So beautiful lookout. You must experience it at least once. There are seats to sit but no toilets. Better to go in the morning or evening

One of the best spots for a sun rise during the winters

Quiet place without too many people as most people are to botanical garden.

Great views and good track although although steeper than 'light to medium' as indicated. Watch out for a kookaburra that steals food from your hands.

One of the best lookout, quiet and peaceful

Beautiful lookout straight to the tall trees. Great place for a picnic.

Lovely lookout just around the corner from Cloudehill Garden & Nursery in Olinda. Pretty views across the Yarra Valley on a clear day. Some bench seating or the large rocks can be used to sit on. The grassed area has both sloped & flat sections to picnic on. Dogs allowed. There are walking tracks also. The only problem l found was that Chalet Rd is a tight gravel road leading up to it from Olinda-Monbulk Rd. There are some points where 2 large cars will barely fit side by side.

Can drive straight up and sit in the car if you like which is good on colder days. Can see a long way, although view a little spoilt by the tall man planted trees. Doesn't feel as natural as other lookout spots. Great place to go for a walk though. The trees give great shade in summer, and there are more natural areas further in. Lots of mown grass for a picnic. Nice quiet spot. Dirt road access and car park. A small number of benches to sit on and one covered bench area.

Stunning views. Great location to relax or explore.

Nice place for photos!

It's a nice place if you're looking for quite place to walk around. It's very peaceful I'm going again when it warms up👍

A peaceful, fresh location with scenic views and kookaburras galore. Pretty even in the cold weather.

Good place for taking photos.
