At the crest of the hill a lookout platform has been constructed enabling views down upon the local farmlands, the foothills and the Avon River. (visit link)

Back near the Reserve oval are the picnic facilities of tables, benches and toilets.

Near the lookout is an Orientation Table, possibly built around 1960, as the distances to the designated places are in miles.

An information sign at the start of the trail up to the Lookout explains how this area had some not so happy history in the late 1800's for the indigenous peoples of the area.

Access: Turn off Old Redbank Road into The Knob Recreation Reserve, and follow the dirt track to the loop parking area.
