About this place
What to expect
Touts Lookout offers one of the most impressive panoramic views in the Hilltops Region, overlooking the picturesque Murringo Gap and surrounding countryside. Located just a five-minute drive from the village of Monteagle via a gradual unsealed road, the lookout provides a peaceful place to pause, take in the scenery and appreciate the wide-open landscapes that define the region. It's a popular spot for photography, particularly at sunrise and sunset and early spring's canola where they transform the valley below. For those travelling by caravan or motorhome, Touts Lookout is also a free campsite best suited to self-contained travellers. The quiet rural setting makes it an ideal place to spend the night and wake to the sight of the sun rising over the Murringo Gap. After dark, the lookout takes on a different kind of beauty. With minimal light pollution and expansive views towards the east, north-east and south-east, it is a fantastic location for stargazing beneath the region's dark country skies. Open anytime, year-round, Touts Lookout is a rewarding stop for sightseers, photographers, campers and anyone seeking a moment of country tranquillity.
