Last few sights in the area

There are just so many places that you can visit and do walks from in the area. There were a couple that we wanted to look at before we left so we made a fleeting visit to have a look at one or two before we left.

Evans Lookout was the first such place and it gives you a view down into the Grose Valley just around from Govetts Leap. From here is an excellent walk called The Grand Canyon which is a three hour return trip but was too long for us late in the day.

Anvil Rock is literally that, with an actual anvil on top. The views were very panoramic and in fact it was possible to see the skyscrapers of Sydney from this point. The camera in the iPad unfortunately couldn't pick them up.

Pulpit Rock is named because that is what it looks like. Steep steps take you out on to this separate rock. Vertigo is not what you would want to suffer from if you visited this site. Although the day looks beautiful it was in fact blowing a very cold wind that wasn't pleasant.
 
 

 

The last spot we visited was Perry's Look Down. Once again this viewing platform was looking into the Grose Valley and its name says it all. It is a look down and the camera does not capture this feeling well. Tracks into the valley begin from this point too.

Even the trees have trouble! Look at the angle it is growing at!
