Marie Byles Lookout Beautiful Broken Bay

Marie Byles Lookout

The lookout is on The Scenic Road in Killcare Heights, just south of the Bouddi National Park Visitor Centre. Named after Marie Byles, the first proponent of a Bouddi National Park, the lookout has beautiful views to the south, along the coast, and over parts of Broken Bay.

A carpark allows easy access to the lookout, although no toilets are present. The area is well fenced due to the steep terrain. The views are amazing. An information board details the life of Marie Byles, which enables you to appreciate what she achieved. Additional boards point out features you can see and provide information on migrating whales.

Marie Byles

Marie Byles (8 April 1900 – 21 November 1979) was a committed conservationist, pacifist, the first practising female solicitor in New South Wales, mountaineer, explorer and avid bushwalker, feminist, journalist, and an original member of the Buddhist Society in New South Wales.

The Views

The views along the coastline and over the ocean are amazing. If you are unable to walk to some of the other lookouts, this one is great, because it lets you see some great views.
