The Rocket Point lookout walk is a short loop from the Wentworth Falls picnic area. The walk leads you down to the stepping stones at Queens Cascade above the falls. (See Kings Tableland post) We stopped at the small gully just beyond the cascade to eat our lunch with the occasional spray from the water fall being blown in our direction.

Rocket Point provides a great vantage point to view the falls, as you can see from the photo below.
On the harbourside walk from Taronga Zoo wharf to Clifton Gardens you will pass by this life-sized bronze statue of an Australian Kelpie in Clifton Gardens Reserve.
The sculpture is named 'Alinta.'

View my Taronga wharf to Clifton Gardens post. From Clifton Gardens you can extend the walk to Balmoral Beach or catch a bus back to the City from there.
Our walking group revisited Glenbrook recently, visiting Glenbrook Lagoon reserve and the two lookouts in Knapsack Reserve. (see my earlier Glenbrook Lagoon post)

Elizabeth Lookout, on the Eastern escarpment of the Blue Mountains, overlooks Penrith and beyond. Sydney's CBD high-rise buildings can be seen in the far distance if the weather is suitable.
Marges Lookout (below) looks out over the Penrith Lakes parkland (see Penrith International Regatta Centre)
The Knapsack lookouts can be accessed from the 'Lovers Walk' fire-trail at the end of Barnett Street.
