Summary
Lawrence Lookout has a spectacular view of the Australian Alps. There is a short return walk to a picnic shelter and toilets nearby.
Description
A turn off from the Murray Valley Highway and a brief drive up a dirt road through pine forest takes you to some remarkable views of the Australian Alps. When snow clad in winter and early spring they look particularly stunning.
The lookout sits atop a crest overlooking the valleys below. It has a direction finder cairn at its peak for identifying the mountains you observe.
The crest accommodates a pretty block of native bush amongst the pines. The nearby picnic shelter is down a wide dirt track that passes a drop toilet en route. The shelter has a picnic table and fireplace inside. Cars may also use the dirt track.
There is plenty of parking either at the cairn or toilets.
