From Ouyen, you will need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to Kelly's Lookout, as public transport does not go directly to the lookout. The taxi fare may vary, so it's advisable to check with local taxi services ahead of time.

It’s a scenic route but be prepared for a challenging ride, as the road can be rough. Ensure you have adequate supplies, including water and snacks, as there are no facilities along the way.

  If you are staying nearby and wish to walk to Kelly's Lookout, follow the walking trails from the nearest accessible location. Be aware that the trails can be rugged, and it's essential to wear appropriate footwear and carry enough supplies, as well as a map or GPS device, since the area is remote.
