Rowley's Rock Lookout

Getting there

From Taree, travel to Wingham and from there follow the signs toward Tapin Tops. Follow the road a couple of kilometres past Dingo Tops Rest Area to Rowley's Rd on the right. This road is only suitable for 2wd vehicles when it's dry. You will come to a side road on the right that is only suitable for light vehicles. Heavy campervans etc must park just down the road and you will need to walk up the hill. Bear in mind that turning around could be difficult. The road on the right will take you up to the start of the track where there is a gate.

Route/Trail notes

The first 3.6km of this walk is up a service road, and then there are some steps to the lookout. It is quite steep and strenuous. The view at the top is well worth it though. You can see right around. Just below the lookout is a rocky outcrop known as the 'Head and Shoulders Cliff'. Return by the same track.

Comments

great view from the top, and lovely rainforest on the service road up.
If walking up steep hills is not your thing, continue on Knodingbul to nearby Blue Knob lookout which you can drive up. Also above 1000m with a 360 degree view.
Or do both!

It had been raining when we arrived, and we were grateful for our 4WD. We weren't sure about taking the track up at first and drove on looking for a place to park the car. We missed it and drove on too far meaning that we needed to reverse to get back. After that we chose to drive up, and we're glad that we could. It's quite a drive up the hill just to the car park. The track up is steep. It the view at the top is so worth it. We watched the clouds come in while we were there, and before we knew it the view was totally gone and we were surrounded by the clouds.
