Information

This site is one of six camping areas located within the Karara Rangelands Park.

During an 1897 expedition, Australian explorer Sir John Forrest established his survey point on the top of a hill later named John Forrest Lookout. This lookout forms part of the Damperwah Hills, which Forrest discovered and named during his 1869 search of the explorer, Ludwig Leichhardt.

The lookout allows a 360° panoramic view of surrounding station country. Picnic facilities and toilets are located at the base on the hill.
Please note: the walk to the lookout is 750m uphill.

Camping is permitted. A per person camping fee applies. There is no vehicle entry fee for Karara Rangeland Park. Camping fee must be paid by Mastercard or VISA when booking. Bookings are essential and can be made up to 180 days (approximately six months) before arrival.
