The Dharawal and Tharawal peoples are the traditional owners of the Illawarra region, with the Sublime Point lookout providing an opportunity to reflect on the landscape from such an expansive vantage point. This well-used track is moderately difficult due to the steep and quite direct ascent of the escarpment to the cliff line. It includes some slippery, partly eroded steeply inclined sections, stepped sections under the upper cliffs (hundreds of steps) and several steel ladder sections toward the top of the cliff. The rewards are great with many coastal views glimpsed through the forest along the way and panoramic views from up top, there are even cafes up the top too but can get quite busy. There is an extra 5km to walk along the escarpment edge, past Panorama House to Cliffhanger Cafe for a coffee before returning back to Sublime Point and making your descent.Show more

This hike takes in three local mountains and the scenic Robertson lookout. Lots of amazing views and varied terrain to enjoy. The track from Mt Brisbane to Robertson's lookout is a bit unclear at places and may require some off-trail walking to get back on track. Please note that after any significant rain the inclines around Mt Brisbane can get quite slippery and hard to get up.Show more
