About Sublime Point Reserve
Lookout and Jamison Valley Views at Sublime Point Reserve
The lookout platform at Sublime Point Reserve overlooks the Jamison Valley and the wider Blue Mountains National Park, making the view the reserve's main attraction. Birdwatching is a second draw, since native birds move through the casuarinas growing around the lookout. Although Sublime Point Reserve sits just outside the national park, its valley views stretch across the national park's bushland, giving visitors a long outlook over the escarpment and the valley below.
Rock Climbing Cliffs at Sublime Point Reserve
The sheer rock faces around the lookout at Sublime Point Reserve attract climbers, who tackle named routes including Hells Bells and Sweet Dreams. Climbing on these vertical cliffs is a serious activity, and the reserve's guidance is that climbers must be well prepared and very experienced before attempting them. Because the cliffs are steep and exposed, the climbing draw at Sublime Point Reserve suits experienced climbers, not casual visitors.
Easy Track to the Lookout at Sublime Point Reserve
The walking track to the lookout at Sublime Point Reserve is easy and crosses a bridge over a ravine before reaching the platform. The track is ideal for wheelchairs and strollers and ends at a picnic area, so the path itself suits pushchairs and wheeled access. The steps up to the lookout platform are not wheelchair accessible, and the reserve's disability access is rated medium.
