Weather
Check the weather before visiting
Visit on a clear day to enjoy the panoramic views. Mist or rain will significantly obscure the scenery, so it's worth checking the forecast first.
Food & drink
Bring snacks and water
There are no facilities on site, so pack drinks, snacks, and any food you'll need. A picnic can extend your visit if the weather is good.
Safety
Supervise very young children carefully
Keep babies and toddlers close and under constant supervision near the edge. The lookout offers expansive views but requires caution with very young children.
