If you’re looking for a short walk that’s a bit out of the way, then Copelands could be the one for you. Here: https://w3w.co/format.eagerly.crisps
Copelands Lookout, Katoomba
The track is a bit rough in patches so take your time. The walk is really interesting and is well worth the effort. The lookout faces south so there is great light all day.

• Time: 40mins return
• Kid-safe: Yes, with supervision
• Dogs on-leash: No
• Steps: Many of them, some are pretty rough

• Heights: No high cliff areas other than the lookout.
• Must do rating: 9
ACCESS: You can access it off the Prince Henry Cliff Walk or go direct by parking in the old Solitary Restaurant Carpark https://w3w.co/sweeps.flirting.unit and walk down toward Fossil Rock Lookout and turn left. Walk about 100m and tack the track that goes hard right to the lookout.
BACKSTORY: It’s also been known as “Copelands Outlook” and “Copelands View”. It was named after a Katoomba “storekeeper” William Raeburn Copeland in the early 1930’s. See the last photo of the old shop.
