Five Rivers Lookout — Attraction in Wyndham

Highly recommended vista ...

We visited Five Rivers Lookout in 2018 for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. This time, in 2021, we brought friends with us and took a light dinner to cook on the BBQ (shelters, seats, 4 × gas BBQ - two were working).

There were a few people there to watch the sunset. They departed soon after and we had the place to ourselves. Taking a BBQ dinner was worth it and added to the positive experience.

The views of the rivers and swamplands are extensive for about a 270 degree arc and the topography changes colour as the afternoon sun introduces depth of shadow. On this day, smoke from Kununurra burnoffs enhanced the sunset.

Adding to the moment were rock wallabies, complete with joeys, who came looking for water from a container near the rock the wall. They were timid but prepared to come...

It's a steep road up to the lookout and there's a sign saying no caravans. On the way to the top there's several places to stop but the trees obscure the views. At the top the views are fantastic and you can easily spend half an hour looking. There's a toilet and bbq there as well.

Please like this review if it has...

How could you not rate this lookout 5 stars? Amazing 360 degree views unlike from any other lookout. A comparable lookout is the one at Kalbarri. Caravan unhitching and parking at the foot of the climb - don't even contemplate taking a van up, the road is so narrow and tight...
