Bald Hill Lookout

Lookout Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia

What to expect

Bald Hill Lookout offers expansive views south towards Wollongong and is internationally known as a major hang-gliding point. The lookout overlooks the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge, which extends along the Grand Pacific Drive, a 140-kilometre award-winning coastal drive. A new one-kilometre track featuring more than 400 sandstone steps links the bush to the beach, connecting the Royal National Park to the Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area. It was on the beach below Bald Hill that Lawrence Hargrave, an Australian pioneer of flight, made a successful flight on 12 November 1894. A memorial cairn dedicated to him has been erected at the peak of the hill. The Flying High Café is situated within the car park and offers an array of takeaway options. The lookout provides a 360-degree view, with Stanwell Tops and Undola Ridge to the northwest, the Royal National Park to the northeast, and the Illawarra escarpment to the south
