"Definitely worth the drive up to this lookout, especially at sunrise and sunset.
Very peaceful and great views.
I recommend you take a walk to the right (in front of the towers) for an even better view."

"A nice lookout with views of the Albury area but lots of flies"
Graeme Forbes
"Nice lookout with a 180 degree view of Albury. Steep single lane road to get there so be cautious on the drive up and down. Once up there it is quite a good view of the area. There are picnic tables and chairs to sit and enjoy the view. Worth a look but not the best lookout I’ve ever seen. Parking galore do that is not a problem. There is also a walking path out to the right from the car park which is lovely if you enjoy walking."
