Hike overview

As its name suggests, Three Views walking track incorporates three cliff-edge viewing points, each boasting a different sight.
Spend the day walking the easy 9.5km return track that follows the Brooks Plateau and Moolatoo Trig fire trails through open woodland and heath to your choice of viewing points. You'll enjoy incredible views of Lake Yarrunga, Tallowa Dam and the Shoalhaven River and gorges, along with spectacular wildflower glimpses in late winter and spring.
The track's almost completely flat, so it's suitable for all fitness levels. An abundance of wildlife also makes this a great track for walking with older children, though you might find you need to break it up into smaller sections.
