Lookout - NSW

On the edge of the Macleay The Macleay Gorges Wilderness was declared in 1996. The declaration recognises the value of this essentially unchanged landscape with its deep gorges and huge waterfalls, home to 700 plant and 268 animal species. The wilderness area is helping us all by: • providing a boost to local, state and national economies by attracting visitors • giving us ongoing opportunities to enjoy the wild landscapes (as you are doing now) • helping us develop sustainable land use practices by learning from nature in undisturbed areas • protecting our water catchment areas to ensure healthy water supplies for people living downstream • protecting the history öf our ancient continent.
