Mount George Lookout
A short climb to long views over Bridgewater
A short climb to long views over Bridgewater
Rising above Bridgewater, Mount George Conservation Park is a compact reserve laced with walking trails through tall stringybark and messmate forest. The lookout near the summit is the reward for a short, steady climb, opening up views across the surrounding hills and valleys.
The park is a reliable spot for koalas, often seen wedged in the forks of the eucalypts, and the birdlife is excellent. Several loop options let you tailor the walk from a quick half-hour leg-stretch to a longer circuit.
It's an easy add-on to a Bridgewater or Stirling visit, and especially pretty in the soft light of late afternoon.
