Overview
Moya Point Lookout is a quiet, under-the-radar perch on the escarpment near Inspiration Point at Leura. It delivers big Blue Mountains drama—sheer Triassic sandstone cliffs dropping into the hazy Jamison Valley—with sightlines toward Wentworth Falls and Kings Tableland. If you love the views but not the crowds, this one’s your speed.
Access
Reach it on foot via Lillians Bridge Track or as a short side trip off the Grand Cliff Top Walk, starting near the Fairmont Resort in Leura. The walk is roughly 2.5km return, easy to moderate with some steps and typical bush track underfoot. You’ll pass through eucalypt forest and can easily pair it with nearby Gladstone Lookout for a two-for-one outing.
What You'll See
- Wide-open vistas over the Jamison Valley and sandstone escarpments
- Clear-day views toward Wentworth Falls and Kings Tableland
- Classic Blue Mountains bushland on the approach, with spring wildflowers adding color when in season
Who Will Love It
Photographers, walkers who prefer solitude over infrastructure, and anyone keen on big views without a big effort. If you want picnic tables, shops, or handrails right at the edge, look elsewhere.
Best Time to Visit
Aim for clear weather to maximize long-distance views toward Wentworth Falls and Kings Tableland. Skip it right after rain if you’re wary of slippery, muddy sections. Windy days can be blustery on the unfenced edge.
Wildlife
Expect typical Blue Mountains fauna: birdlife (including lyrebirds), small marsupials like wallabies, and lizards. Snakes are possible in warmer months—standard bush sense applies.
Safety & Essentials
There are no facilities here. The lookout is informal and may be unfenced—keep well back from cliff edges, especially in wet or windy conditions. Bring water, sturdy shoes, sun/rain protection, and a basic map or GPS. Pets aren’t permitted in the national park. For toilets and picnic facilities, use Wentworth Falls Picnic Area before or after your walk.
