Explore the area
Explore the track route and surrounding area before you set out.
The walk starts in Port Fitzroy, walk past the shop then turn left at the sign for Glenfern Regional Parkland. Look for the small sign and track on your left. After about an hour of walking uphill, you’ll get to the lookout, looking down into Port Fitzroy harbour. The lookout is a natural rock feature which can be slippery with a significant fall risk. We advise taking extra caution in this area.
No dogs.
