Red Point Lookout

Red Point Lookout is in Ben Boyd National park and is accessed by a clear but very steep set of steps from Boyd Tower. The lookout is fenced and has a sign explaining a bit about the local geology. The lookout provides a great view south, down the coast of the park. A great example of folded rocks is clearly visible where the sandstone and metamorphosed red siltstone were compressed and bent to form distinct arches.
