With spellbinding scenic views over the magnificent Nandewar and Grattai wilderness areas, The Governor lookout walking track is a great addition to a car tour of Mount Kaputar National Park. The short accessible boardwalk from the carpark makes it a quick and easy stop over, ideal for families, groups and school excursions.

From the lookout, take in the dramatic volcanic landscape and distinctive rock formation of The Governor. On a clear autumn day, the scenic mountain views go on forever and in winter you’ll see dramatic snow-capped peaks. It’s an ideal vantage spot to enjoy some birdwatching as wedge-tailed eagles are often seen circling above.

Experienced walkers will enjoy the challenge of The Governor Summit (Corrunbral Borawah) walking track while skilled rock climbers will love the chance to test themselves.
