Z Bend Lookout
A lookout over the Murchison River as it makes sharp turns in the gorge, forming a 'Z' shape. The red cliffs, roughly 150 meters high, are spectacular.
The Z Bend Lookout is about 1.2 kilometers round trip on foot from the car park. The platform overlooks the Z-shaped bends that form as the river makes two sharp turns in the gorge. Fit visitors can take the Z Bend River Trail, which descends steep rock steps to the riverbed and covers about 2.6 kilometers round trip, with some rock scrambling. Nearby viewpoints include the Four Ways lookout and other trails. Summers are hot, so avoid the middle of the day.
