The Mount Osmond Lookout is within the Mount Osmond Reserve. I believe visiting Mount Osmond Reserve is best via the car park of Mount Osmond Lookout, which is just next to Mount Osmond Road, right next to the entrance of the Lost Retreats.

There are a few benches to sit and relax. Lots of mountain bikers sharing the tracks. Was pretty to capture the...

We even got to see the Adelaide Airport from the top of the Mt Osmond Hill while we were watching the...
