Sublime Point Lookout - Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area
Australia / Bulli, New South Wales
Location ID: #10063522
Sublime Point Lookout offers 180 degree views over the sea, the rainforest and the 17 beaches that span the coastline to Wollongong. There is also a restaurant/cafe/function centre here , the Sublime Point Cafe.
Sublime Point track: distance 850 metres, difficulty is hard, walk time suggested - 45 minutes.
This is one of the few walks that link the coastal foothills and the plateau. Few tracks ascend the escarpment because its steep terrain and high rainfall make it prone to rockfalls, landslip and erosion.
The track branches off Gibson's track and then ascends sharply to the Sublime Point lookout. A series of steel ladders assist walkers up the jagged cliff lines near the top of the climb. The lookout and the track itself offer some of the best views of the Illawarra escarpment, plain and coastline. Barbecues, picnic shelters and toilets cater to visitors, but bring your own drinking water.
