About this place
The Z Bend lookout overhangs a sharp bend in the Murchison River and can be reached via a 600m walk trail from the parking area.
Enjoy scenic views of the river gorge from this lookout.
Visitors with a good level of fitness can also hike down into the gorge and access the river’s edge.
Four Ways Trail
This strenuous but interesting hike descends into the gorge to a location known as Four Ways. The return journey is much more difficult.
- Distance: 6km return
- Difficulty: Class 4
