From Panorama Drive, Katoomba (about 100m along from Lilianfells Park), this walk heads through the gap in the wooden fence, near the ticket machine. The track heads down the hill, initially passing some information signs[1], and down some steps to the bottom, where it comes to ‘Lady Darley Lookout’[2].
Lady Darley Lookout
Lady Darley Lookout is a moderately-sized, fenced lookout, found on the Prince Henry Cliff Track. The lookout can also be accessed directly by a track from Panorama Drive. There is an information sign describing the view and the traditional naming of the natural features. The panoramic views from the lookout are great, from Kings Tableland on the left to Mount Solitary, Narrow Neck and parts of Scenic World on the far right.
