Right after the Roys Peak Lookout you have the opportunity to hike further up the Skyline Track to Roys Peak. If you orientate yourself a bit offsite the track you will get amazing new perspectives to Glendhu Bay.

Photography Tips

Use a person for scale and place him in the shadow of the behind mountains for a nice contrast.

Travel Information

This 15,4 km out-and-back trail with around 1264 meter of elevation is a moderate hike and requires a normal level of fitness. The way up is a gravel road for farmers and easy for hikers. Take care if you plan your hike during the day. There are no places for shadow and it can be super hot.

The spot is crowded at sunrise. So I would prefer to go at sunset. There are just a few persons up on the summit.
