Sublime Point

Top choice in Blue Mountains


Southeast of Leura, this sharp, triangular outcrop narrows to a dramatic lookout with sheer cliffs on each side. It's much, much quieter than Katoomba's more famous Echo Point, and on sunny days cloud shadows dance across the vast blue valley below. You can spot the backside of the Three Sisters from here too.
