Namadgi Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

Great national park visitor centre. The staff are fantastic and this is a great "jumping-off" point for any potential Namadgi adventures.

Tip by

2.48 km

Cypress Pine Lookout is one of the main viewpoints along the Mount Tennent Track, roughly halfway up the mountain. The lookout sits near stands of native cypress pine and opens up to wide views across the Gudgenby Valley toward the surrounding ranges of Namadgi National Park. It’s an ideal place for a scenic break before continuing the climb toward the summit.

Mount Tennent Track

Mount Tennent Track is a relatively challenging route that climbs steadily to the summit. The well-formed path passes through dry forest and rocky slopes, gaining significant elevation as it winds up the mountain’s ridgeline. Along the way, there are several viewpoints with expansive views across the Gudgenby Valley and surrounding ranges.
