Blue Mountains Walks: Gordon Falls Lookout and Elysian Rock, Leura NSW Australia
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
Gordon Falls Lookout and Elysian Rock are just a few minutes walk from the Gordon Falls Reserve parking area. A short but very attractive walk with only one difficult part for some (the ladder) on the Falls walk. The waterfall is on the left, well below the lookout. Be sure not to miss it when admiring the view of the Jamison Valley.

Blue Mountains Walks: Gordon Falls to Golf Links Lookout, Leura NSW Australia
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
The Golf Links Lookout is one of the less visited lookouts in the Blue Mountains. It is accessible by a good track from either the Pool of Siloam (Gordon Falls) or the end of Gladstone Rd Leura. In this video I returned the same way but there are some alternative routes which involve quite a bit of road walking.

Blue Mountains Walks: Gordon Falls Reserve to Golf Links Lookout Leura
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
The walk down to the Pool of Siloam from Gordon Falls Reserve at Leura is very popular. Most visitors get that far and then return. However, by crossing the stepping stones you will find yourself on a well-made track which takes you up to the Golf Links Lookout and a different perspective of the Jamison Valley. From here other tracks branch off as shown in the video.
The return trip takes around 90 minutes.

Gordon Falls Reserve in Leura is a good base for exploring some great walking tracks - the Pool of Siloam and Lyre Bird Dell track, to Golf Links Lookout and Sublime Point, The Prince Henry Cliff Walk and to Gordon Falls Lookout (the shortest walk).
The reserve itself has free parking, children's playground, toilets, barbeque and covered picnic shelters. This combination is rare in the mountains.

Blue Mountains - Gordon Falls Lookout
Here was my goal of my hiking. The name of this lookout is Gordon Falls lookout, but I can't see Gordon falls well. It too small for me to see.

NOTE: There was some copyrighted music with the video clip. In removing this, somehow part of the soundtrack from the beginning of the video has replaced some of it!. I'll address this when I get time.
This is another pleasant walk with extensive valley and cliff views. Included is a piece of historic film showing the Flying Fox which descended from near Cliff Drive down to the Sewage Treatment Works in the valley.

The route today followed the Prince Henry Cliff Walk from Gordon Falls Reserve to Tarpeian Rock at Leura. The wildflowers were superb. In fact, many of them were different from those I saw last week at Inspiration Point just a few kilometres from here.

Amazing town of Leura in Australia
Leura's elevation of 985 metres (3,232 ft) AHD leads to occasional snowfall in winter and a climate that reflects all four seasons distinctly.
The village centre lies on Leura Mall which is divided at this point by a wide grassy median strip planted with flowering cherry trees. The historic streetscape has been largely preserved, although there was local concern regarding the development of a shopping complex on the site of a former distribution warehouse. Redesigned to better suit the Leura Mall ambience after consultations with the wider community, the new shopping complex is now complete, hosting a Woolworths supermarket and liquor store. The historic post office building is now home to a news agency. The Alexandra Hotel, not far from the railway station, offers panoramic views from its back veranda. There are a substantial number of restaurants, cafes and coffee shops along Leura Mall, among the boutiques, gift and antique shops.
Leura is home to many formal, English-style, cool-climate gardens, which provide elegant walks and the opportunity to visit when open to the public in early October each year.
In 2016, Leura was named in the list of top 50 most irresistible, exotic, historic and postcard-worthy small towns in Australia.
