About the Business
Welcome to Portal lookout, a must-visit tourist attraction located in the picturesque Blue Mountains National Park in New South Wales, Australia. Situated near Western Sydney, this establishment offers breathtaking gorge and river views, along with exciting abseiling and climbing options.
As you make your way to the top of the lower ridges of the Blue Mountains National Park, you will be rewarded with magnificent vistas of the stunning junction between Glenbrook Gorge and the mighty Nepean River. The lookout's wheelchair-accessible path makes it a convenient stop for those on a car tour, while thrill seekers can use it as a base for their adventurous abseiling and climbing activities.
Take a moment to admire the dramatic scenery, with lush trees lining the gorge and the Nepean River flowing through the Cumberland Plains on the western outskirts of Sydney. The presence of large rounded pebbles, known as lapstones, is evidence of the lookout's history as an ancient river bed.
The rugged terrain of Portal lookout is home to unique flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for the shapely angophoras, with their gracefully contorted limbs, and the bearded dragons basking on the surrounding rocky outcrops.
