Aspley Falls Lookout is a fantastic place to stop and stretch your legs during a road trip. It’s a great spot to break the journey, enjoy a walk through pleasant scenery, and take in the fresh air.
The views from the lookout are stunning, you get a real sense of the height and the surrounding gorge, making it worth the short walk. Plenty of room to wander, take photos, and just enjoy the natural beauty.
Whether you’re passing through or planning a longer break, it’s definitely worth a stop. A peaceful, scenic spot that really adds something memorable to the trip.
Toilets are good

A wonderful stop just off the Oxley Hwy. Bitumen right up to the falls. The falls were working well even in the extreme 38 degree heat. The campsites are big reasonably level and quite. A Great overnight stay.

This place is absolutely breathtaking. The waterfall viewing platform is easily accessible and just a short walk from the car park, making it suitable for most visitors. There are plenty of parking spaces and toilet facilities available, which adds to the convenience.
Once you arrive, it feels like you’ve entered a different world – peaceful, natural, and full of beauty. The drive from Port Macquarie takes about 2 hours, winding through hilly terrain and scenic bends, making the journey part of the experience. Be prepared for cold weather in winter, so dress warmly!
If you’re in the area, don’t miss Tia Falls, just a 15-minute drive from here. Both spots offer fantastic photo opportunities and a chance to connect with nature.

Falls are amazing, rock formations on the gorge are really interesting. Well maintained walking track (Bitumen), suspension bridge, great look outs, flushing toilets. Definitely worth a visit. Good for a quick stop or 3km walk.
