This heavily trafficked location is found at the end of an unnamed road off the Princess Highway in Maddens Plains. 

While unnamed, the road is well-signed directing you to Sublime Point Lookout and navigation systems will direct you when to turn if your location is set to Sublime Point Lookout.

The lookout offers spectacular and uninterrupted views over the Wollongong area, along the Illawarra Escarpment on which the lookout is situated and out to the Pacific Ocean. 

There are multiple viewing platforms along the escarpment, all of which are well-constructed and fenced.

The lookout is situated near a lovely large picnic area, with BBQs, covered picnic tables and toilets, as well as plenty of space to throw out a picnic rug on the grass.

Those wishing to stretch their legs further have multiple options, including a walk along the top of the escarpment to Bulli Lookout. 

There is also the more challenging Sublime Point Track (Grade 4, rated ‘Hard’) that steeply descends the escarpment to Austinmer, via a series of ladders and staircases through lush rainforest.

Track: The lookout is just a very short stroll from the car park along a concrete path, it well-signed and easy to follow.

Difficulty: The track is suitable for all fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible. While the lookout is well-fenced, it is a very large drop on the other side, so caution is required and children should be supervised at all times.

Direction: This is an out-and back track that returns the way it came.
