Isla Gorge Lookout

At the southern end of the Dawson Range, Isla Gorge National Park protects spectacular sandstone scenery in the Central Highlands. Here, among a complex maze of gorges, sandstone outcrops and striking rock formations change colour throughout the day.

Isla Gorge Lookout is the ideal spot to watch the sunset over the orange-coloured cliffs of the gorge. From the picnic area, you follow a rough trail to the lookout over Isla Gorge and the valley below.

The plateau has brilliant wildflower displays in spring. From the lookout you can see wedge-tailed eagles, peregrine falcons and honeyeaters. Take your binoculars and look for whiptail wallabies and grey kangaroos in the valley below.
