    Nice lookout which provides stunning 360-degree view of the valley below. It can get very crowded during early afternoon, so it's best to visit it during early morning hours to get the space for yourselves and the sunrise view will be an added bonus. The lookout is located just in front of the iconinc The Chalet. Plenty of car park available both at the The Gorge parking area as well as at The Chalet parking. Since the lookout is next the car parking, it's accessible to everyone. The glass tile is a nice touch though it would have been more scary if the lookout was extended a little further onto the valley. If you are feeling more adventurous you can try one of the other walks like Lake catani walk or the Monolith track which start from here.

    Breathtaking view. Just across from the Chalet, the gorge lookout will give you shaky legs 😊. The boardwalk into the edge has a transparent floor…..scary for some!! We went there about 11am and absolutely loved the views.

    Experienced cliff hang picnic at Mt buffalo. Wonderful yet scaring to death experiences especially if you're a beginner and never experienced abseiling or similar before. It's very unusual and Intimidating experience. Guides were really supportive and made sure we understood and were comfortable!!! Regardless it was very scary for me and couldn't hang for 1.5 to 2 hrs.

    A great spot to take the family for a weekend adventure or day trip. There's plenty of great lookouts, accessible car parking and toilets onsite. The chalet is also nearby for some great food and coffee. Getting up to Mt Buffalo is a winding mountain road (not recommended for learner drivers or those that are not confident). Snow chains don't always need to be fitted to your car depending on weather but they must be carried in the car at all times to avoid a fine. I also suggest bringing plenty of water to keep hydrated during those long walks!

    Went for sunrise, beautiful views. Sun rises behind the mountains so you will not see it come up over the horizon. Can be windy.

    Spectacular Views of the Alpine Region from Bents lookout. There are some beautiful panoramic views along the Heritage Gorge track which I would highly recommend and the walk is relatively easy
