This is a picturesque drive to a high spot southwest of Tenterfield. While it is only ~5km ATCF (as the crow flies), it will take about 12 minutes driving. There is a simple 'Windyloo' at the site, with a picnic shelter near the fenced Lookout. An informative photographic Orientation Table identifies features to the NW across to the NE. It is possible to walk up to the base of the fenced off transmitters, and find a Trig Point, tho the views are better here.
Access: The link below gives alternate directions to the Lookout. From Tenterfield head west on Mount Mackenzie Road, and turn left at the signposted "Lookout" onto Gum Flat Road. After about 1.5 km turn left (east) onto Mount Mackenzie Lookout Road, for a further 2.5-3km (east, then NE) to the lookout. Available 24/7, unless mountain in lockdown for fire control.
