Echo Point lookout is the best spot to see the Three Sisters - the iconic rock formation that you must see at least once in your lifetime.

These three weathered sandstone peaks, formed thousands of years ago through erosion, are set among the cliffs of the Jamison Valley. From the lookout, you’ll be able to see the Ruined Castle and Mount Solitary.

Echo Point lookout is also the starting point of many great walks and nature experiences in the area. Take the short Three Sisters walk. If you have time, Prince Henry Cliff walk connects Echo Point to Leura Cascades and takes you past many scenic lookouts along the cliff edge. Or try taking the Giant Stairway to get to the tracks below the cliffs.
