Overview

Eagle View lookout is in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park along Wollomombi walking track. It’s a great place to enjoy river and gorge views and spot wildlife.

From Wollomombi Falls picnic area, it’s an easy walk around the rim of the Wollomombi Gorge to reach this lookout high in the falls.

There are many great viewpoints along Wollomombi walking track, but Eagle View lookout offers spectacular bird’s-eye views over the point where the gorges of the Wollomombi and Chandler rivers meet. As its name suggests, it’s a good place to spot wedge-tailed eagles as they soar on warm updrafts from the gorges below.
