Guide
Tallawalla lookout is a shaded viewpoint on the cliff-top walks above Katoomba, looking toward the cliffs of Leura and Sublime Point. It’s a peaceful pause with the valley as the draw, and it fits best into a walk.
You reach the lookout on foot from either Prince Henry Cliff Walk or Grand Cliff Top Walk, so plan it into a walk.
Sunset is the standout time for dramatic cliff-line views. Keep part of the curved railing or rock platform in your photo; the foreground gives the distant cliffs a sense of scale.
