What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate Diamond Tree Lookout for its scenic picnic area, easy forest walk, and accessible parking, making it a pleasant stop. However, the indefinite closure for climbing due to broken stairs is a significant drawback for those expecting the iconic tree climb experience.
"Very scenic picnic area with toilets, information hut and a short walking trail through the forest with plenty of plant identification signs ( there's no information on the walk that I could find - it's about 400mt and an easy loop) car park is very close to the main Rd and has good access and parking even for Caravans."
