The Governor lookout
Mount Kaputar National Park
Overview
The Governor lookout is in Mount Kaputar National Park on The Governor lookout walking track. It’s a great spot for breathtaking views of a wild landscape shaped by volcanic activity.
Reached by a short and accessible boardwalk, The Governor lookout offers spellbinding views over the Nandewar and Grattai wilderness areas, about an hour from Narrabri.
