The lookout includes a gazebo and two nearby benches. It can only be accessed via the bush walk trail from the Ledge Beach parking lot. Natural wildflowers in this area are especially in bloom in August through October, and this is also the time when whales can often be seen in the ocean that this location overlooks.
If you're up for a challenge, you'll also find an Australian penny hidden at the precise location indicated by the coordinates (please do not try to remove the penny, but leave it for others to enjoy finding as well) - it is in plain view, you just need to look in the right spot to find it!
