  Perched high above the coastline at Stanwell Tops, Bald Hill Lookout offers one of the most iconic panoramic vistas in Australia. From this world-famous vantage point, you will enjoy a spectacular bird's-eye view of the Sea Cliff Bridge as it snakes along the rugged Illawarra escarpment. This site is internationally renowned as a premier hang-gliding destination, and you will often see colourful gliders launching into the sea breeze right before your eyes. It also holds a significant place in Australian history as the site where aviation pioneer Lawrence Hargrave first experimented with box kites in the 1890s. Relax in the comfort of your luxury Mercedes V-Class as we arrive at this premier height, allowing you to soak in the 360-degree views stretching from the Royal National Park in the north down to the distant horizon of Wollongong in the south. It is an unmissable photography stop that perfectly captures the scale and beauty of the Grand Pacific Drive.
