Timbarra Lookout
An outcrop of granite rocks near the southern edge of the Basket Swamp National Park. An easy 100-metre walk trail brings you to the base of this trig point which is high on the tallest rock in this outcrop though to get to the trig on top of the rock requires a hard climb up a very narrow crevasse. 180 degree views across farmlands and the Bruxner Highway and as far as Tenterfield can be seen from the rock.

Anvil Rock
A nice walk if you are in the area, and worth doing before Pulpit Rock lookout. This walk is not as busy as many of the other lookout walks in the area. The view across the valley is fantastic. The lookout makes a great place for a picnic lunch, and the lack of crowds makes it that much more attractive

Just remember, the last train up is at 4.50pm, so give yourself plenty of time to reach the station.
