Olympian Rock Walking Track, Leura

Perched along the Prince Henry Cliff Walk in Leura, Olympian Rock Lookout offers a quiet, front-row seat to the sheer majesty of the Jamison Valley. It is often overshadowed by its neighbour, Sublime Point, but locals cherish it for its intimacy and the dramatic, vertical drop of the cliffs right beneath your feet.

The view is dominated by the massive profile of Mount Solitary and the shimmering expanse of the valley floor. On a clear day, the sandstone walls across the gorge glow with an intense ochre. It’s a perfect spot for a moment of stillness amidst the mountains.

This short walk from Leura descends many steps as it heads down to the top of the escarpment, overlooking the Jamison Valley.

Distance: 350m
Time: 20-30 mins
Difficulty: Moderate, lots of steps
