Burrabarroo Lookout is a smaller, quieter viewpoint set just off the Prince Henry Cliff Walk near Katoomba. The lookout sits on a rocky outcrop above the Jamison Valley, with views stretching toward Sublime Point, Kings Tableland, and Mount Solitary. Access is via a short side track with stairs and uneven rock sections leading to a fenced viewing area. Compared to the larger lookouts nearby, this spot feels more tucked into the bush and is often much less crowded. The name “Burrabarroo” is believed to come from an Aboriginal word meaning “very large stones” or “big feller stone.”
