Evans Lookout

This is another of those blips wherein I show some newly completed upgrades to a tourism site, that has been assisted by Federal funding. This is the newest example and has only been opened for a few weeks.

Evans Lookout is about 12 minutes drive from Govetts Leap Lookout and provides access to an alternative and somewhat more easterly view of the world heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park or at least that part of it which encompasses the southern branch of the Grose Valley.

Here, the work is much more extensive and innovative than at Govetts Leap.  A strenuous set of steps has been removed and replaced by an easy, sealed quarter kilometre walking track, providing wheelchair access to three fine vantage points below. Everything is well drained, there's a bridge across a bit of a gorge, whose surface is made from recycled plastics. The whole bit.

My only gripe is the extent to which natural bushland had to be removed for construction, but there is an extensive bush regeneration project in place. The extra contains more images.
