Spion Kop Lookout

Cradle Country & The West


The panoramic views of town from this lookout, which was named by soldiers after a battle in the Boer War, are excellent. Try to arrive at sunset, when the bare hills are flaming orange. To get here, follow Hunter St uphill, turn left onto Bowes St, then do a sharp left onto Latrobe St to a small car park. From here a short, steep track leads to the summit.
