Barnettās Lookout offers wide vistas of Berowra Creek, Berowra Valley National Park and Berowra Waters. More Berowra than you thought you needed in fact.
Good spot for all ages with half a dozen parking spots, a kidās playground with a bubbler and a wheelchair accessible path to the lookout itself which is a 5 minute walk from the parking area.

The view point is approximately 150 metres from the carpark and access to the viewpoint is a well paved / cemented clear path.
