Burragorang lookout and picnic area

Burragorang Lookout may be impacted by bushfires in the region. People planning to visit NSW national parks are urged to check for closures and fire bans before heading out. Visitors are advised to use extreme caution and avoid remote areas in current bushfire conditions. Stay up to date via the NSW Rural Fire Service website. High above Warragamba Dam, on a Blue Mountains escarpment, Burragorang lookout and picnic area is a viewing point for nature’s great beauty. From up here, you can look across one of New South Wales’ most precious resources – that huge body of water far below provides about 80 per cent of Sydney’s water supply. What you’ll see much closer is equally as impressive. Noisy glossy black cockatoos hanging from the casuarinas; perhaps one of the shy and beautiful lyrebirds will be scratching in the leaves below the trees. For the kids, there’s some excellent bike riding along the quiet sealed roads, as well as a playground. Pack the esky well, because there are barbecues and picnic tables, all ready for the perfect bush lunch. **To keep visitors safe ALL camping in NSW national parks now requires a booking. For day visitors, please plan ahead and visit outside of peak periods (11 am and 2 pm). Check park alerts and visit COVID-19 updates for more information before visiting any park **
