About this place
At Sunrise View, a natural flat platform part-way up the escarpment provides a great place from which to watch the sunrise over the flat plains to the East. There is a short, rocky walk trail to reach the viewing point from the carpark.
The early morning sunlight illuminating the cliffs of the escarpment is also a sight worth seeing, and can be viewed from the Sunrise View parking area.
Safety information
Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
