Trig Point Lookout — Attraction in Melbourne

Who doesn't love a good trig station? Well not many people know what one is and for this one let's keep it simple - it's a lookout which is free to use. Great free attraction that is part of the Roytal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne. The walk up to the top is a little steep but doesn't take long - about 400m. Certainly not for someone in a wheelchair although at the base it's fine. At the top is the Trig Point observation deck which has stunning views over the bushland and gardens plus views out to both Westernport Bay and Port Phillip Bay. On a clear day you'll see Mt Dandenong. If you can make it, come along for some...

Views were slightly hindered due to the smoke from burnoffs, however, we could still see Melbourne city skyline and parts of Westernport Bay. Visit this sturdy lookout on a day with little or no wind otherwise, hold on tight...
