Ralston Lookout

Small walk (15-20 minutes one way) that overlooks the valley. You can see the power pylons on one side and the other side is all green! Amazing!

Amazing views at the end of this easy to walk path. You have to park your car ten mins away and walk along a bitumen road to the substation. Then it's just about 20m from there to the lookoutNice views across the valley towards Davidson and St Ives. I personally don't mind seeing the power lines across the valley, they're interesting.

Nice South/West facing viewpoint of the infamous Garigal National Park and the surrounding suburbs, such as St Ives, Belrose and Davidson.The only downside is that you can't drive straight to the lookout.You have to park at the gates and walk to the end of the road which takes about 10 minutes.It's almost definitely worth the walk because the view is beyond breathtaking.I've done astrophotography here and the skies are not that great. The Milky Way is definitely washed out and the light pollution is significantly bright in the south/west.The light polluted night sky is rated at a Bortle 5.I'm probably the only one who would even attempt night sky photography in light polluted areas such as this one, but you're welcome to give it a shot.
