If you don't have a lot of time to explore Goulburn River National Park, this easy walking track takes you through Lees Pinch lookout and is a simple option with rewarding scenic views over this outstanding national park.
Relax while absorbing the stunning and rugged terrain that lies below. Three different viewing areas offer scenic views of the lush forest and Goulburn River flowing through a sandstone gorge; this place is a gem.
The kids will love it, too. Lots of animals that can be seen here, like wallabies and wombats. And while you're enjoying a sandwich, look up to catch a glimpse of birds of prey which soar through the sky near the lookouts.
Remember to take your binoculars if you want to birdwatch
