About
It will feel like you’re on the edge of the world as the views go on forever at Sublime Point lookout – Leura, in Blue Mountains National Park. Offering sensational scenic views of the Jamison Valley, it’s a popular spot for picnicking and birdwatching with families. The more adventurous know it as a haven for rock climbing.
Following an easy track, look for gang-gangs and cockatoos feeding in the casuarinas during summer. You’ll cross a bridge over a dramatic ravine before arriving at the lookout platform.
Gaze across the scenic valley views and soak up the unending wilderness. You’ll get a different viewpoint on Katoomba and the extended family of The Three Sisters. On a misty morning, Mount Solitary rising out of the clouds is a magnificent sight.

Beautiful view. Please consider if you walk there, you need to walk for roughly 15 minutes on the side of the road. No dedicated path for pedestrians. There are also benches where you can have a rest.

Great view of the blue mountains and three sisters without the crowds or buses full of tourists. I’m surprised this place is often overlooked. Very short drive from the local resorts.

Great spot, easy walk , several vantage points. Parking could be more abundant & more economical. A decent toilet would be nice. Nice for a picnic and stunning photos !

Much less crowded to Echo Point, lack of crowds and tourist buses makes it more peaceful. The spectacular views of Jamison Valley are stunning.

Breathtaking mountain views! Sublime Point Lookout gives you a stunning perspective of the escarpment, with rolling ridges and valleys that feel endless. The lookout is well set up and a perfect spot to appreciate the beauty of the mountains in a peaceful setting. It’s best to get an Uber here, as parking can be tricky and you can relax without worrying about the drive. A must-visit for anyone who enjoys nature and scenery.
