👍👍 Absolutely stunning lookout! Very easy to climb in maybe 20 minutes and even more spectacular during sunset. This is something you can easily do at the end of the day, bringing some snacks onto the top and enjoy the beauty of nature and this island!😀

Cathedral Rocks Viewing Platform
Observation deck
🫤 Bit of a harsh rating I know but if you’re on a tight timeline, you can probably give this a miss and save a bunch of time (particularly if you’re on a bike). We were happy to see it as we gave ourselves 12hrs on the island but if you got anything less than that it gonna be hard to achieve as it’s o...

Sublime Point Lookout

👍👍 Awesome place to stop for ten minutes if you’re driving past! If you can’t do the hike from the bottom of the mountain, you can drive directly to the top and it’s all completely wheelchair accessible. There is a cafe (obviously not always open) and public toilet so it’s perfect to stop for a rest. T...

Convoy Lookout
Observation deck
👍👍 The City of Albany has looked after this historic area quite well since the 1980s. It was a derelict run down dump here back in the 1970s. Nicely preserved history. Well worth visiting or volunteering to help out around the area. The Garrison restaurant prepares amazing meals .

Ample free parking and you could enjoy the 5min walk to 2 of the best lookout points in the south most border of mainland Australia mounted in the rugged clifs of shore. It was so cold when we visited despite i...

This memorial serves as a tribute to the ship and crews that served. The ship is one of the most accessable and pictures...
