Getting There
Sublime Point is located at the very end of Sublime Point Road in Leura, where you will find a small car park.
To get there, drive to Leura Mall from the Great Western Highway and turn into Gladstone Road via Megalong Street. Once on Gladstone Road, follow the signs to Sublime Point.
Unfortunately, this spot is challenging to reach with public transport, as there are no bus stops nearby.
Below is a map of the short walking trail to the lookout from the car park.
Track Notes
The walking track to the lookout starts from the car park. It’s a very easy walk, suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
This is not a wheelchair- or pram-friendly walk because there are stairs and a small footbridge at the end of the path to access the lookout platform. However, the picnic area is accessible.
The first section of the walk is a quiet and peaceful stroll through bushland on a paved walking path.
Towards the end of this path is a picnic area with a couple of picnic tables and a sheltered cabin for when it’s a bit colder or windier.
Just behind this sheltered area is where the track goes downhill via a set of stairs until it arrives at a small footbridge, where the views start to open up.
Once you’ve crossed this small footbridge, the track curves onto the well-sized lookout platform.
The Lookout
Sublime Point Lookout is a large, rocky viewing platform with a fence situated at the southernmost tip of the Sublime Point headland.
It offers 360-degree views of the Jamison Valley, with various Blue Mountains landmarks visible in the distance, such as (from west to east):
- The Three Sisters
- Castle Head
- The Ruined Castle
- Mount Solitary
- Lincoln’s Rock
