About this place

Snappy Gum Lookout is a high point along Snappy Gum Drive on the north side of Fortescue River. There are views over the floodplain, Millstream and Hamersley Range to the far south.

The Drive is not suitable for caravans and trailers. It is a gravel road with numerous bends and inclines over the range and through woodlands.

It can be closed during wet weather. Take it easy for a safe and enjoyable drive.
