Breathtaking Views at Point Lookout

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, start from the nearest major town, Armidale. Head south on the New England Highway (A15) for approximately 30 kilometers. Turn left onto Waterfall Way (B78) and continue for about 25 kilometers. Follow the signs to New England National Park. Once in the national park, continue on the designated park roads until you reach Point Lookout. There are no entrance fees for the park, but be mindful of any parking fees at specific lookout areas.

• Public Transport

  If you are using public transport, take a bus from Armidale to Coffs Harbour, which typically runs several times a day. Once you arrive at Coffs Harbour, you will need to hire a car or arrange a taxi to take you to Point Lookout, as there is no direct public transport service to the lookout. The distance from Coffs Harbour to Point Lookout is approximately 68 kilometers, and the drive will take about an hour. Be sure to check the bus schedules in advance to plan your trip effectively.

• Private Shuttle

  Consider booking a private shuttle service from Armidale directly to Point Lookout for convenience. Various companies offer this service, and it can be a good option if you are traveling in a group. The cost may vary depending on the number of passengers and service provider, but expect to pay around AUD 60-100 per person. This will save you the hassle of navigating public transport with luggage.
