Birinder Sharma **Bald Hill Lookout – Hill End, Sydney, Australia** Bald Hill Lookout is a stunning vantage point located near the historic gold mining town of **Hill End** in New South Wales, Australia—not far from Sydney. It offers visitors panoramic views of the rugged countryside, dramatic escarpments, and the vast Turon Valley below. Known for its raw natural beauty, Bald Hill is a hidden gem that provides an authentic taste of Australia’s landscape, away from the bustling city life. Reaching the lookout involves a short drive from the Hill End village, followed by a brief walk, making it easily accessible for most visitors. The view from the top is truly breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset when the skies light up with warm hues, casting a golden glow over the valleys and distant mountains. The lookout is part of the **Hill End Historic Site**, which is managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. This area is steeped in history, as Hill End was a thriving gold rush town in the 1800s. Bald Hill serves not only as a scenic spot but also as a reminder of the area’s rich past, where miners once toiled amidst these hills in search of fortune. Photography enthusiasts often visit Bald Hill for its expansive vistas and ever-changing light. It’s also a peaceful spot for reflection, picnicking, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere of rural Australia. Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or adventure seeker, Bald Hill Lookout at Hill End is a must-visit destination. It perfectly combines scenic beauty with historical depth, making it a memorable stop on any journey through regional New South Wales.

Niall Clerkin Hidden bush amongst the busy northern beaches. Great for walking, trail running and mountain biking. There are some very unusual little spots to be found.

Sue Landless Small park..on bush Close to home good for a quick ball throw with dogs..kiddies play equipment available. Magnificent view of ocean and Manly.

Sachith Weligepola Small walk (15-20 minutes one way) that overlooks the valley. You can see the power pylons on one side and the other side is all green! Amazing!

Simon Furber Park up in Douglas St and then about 100m walk to some flat rocks where you Lookout and see Chatwood and Sydney set against the backdrop of the national forest. Quite so.e unique view. Its worth stopping if youre in the area, the terrain isnt to challenging, and ita a short walk for a great view

Daithí Kilcourse A very nice park with a lot of access points to lookouts, bike trails and hikes. There seems to be a lot of people on bikes here and with a lot of narrow hiking tracks it can be dangerous. Be aware of the bikes and they normally shout out on approach. Some tough and easy trails to do here. Amazing lookouts located in the park too. Some give you a view of the city. We will be back again.

Anne Dunn Great place for kids birthday parties. Totally recommend. Bring bikes and scooters. BBQ and toilet facilities. Bring your own shade for sunny days.

Vishal Sawant Peaceful place by the water with lush greens around. Best part of the park is the parking spaces being so close to the picnic spits. Was easy for my parents to access the spots closer to the water.
