Lady Gowrie Lookout

A peaceful gem hidden in Kirribilli, relax enjoy your coffee & soak up the sights & sounds this little spot has to offer. There are a number of steep steps so be sure to wear suitable foot wear (I did not) & take your pick of a number of benches to take some respite.

This is a quick little lookout that sits adjacent to Kirribilli House (the PM’s residence oooohhh).
Many people might not know it exists but if you are wandering down in that area check it out because once you get to the bottom of the steps there is a shelf of rock at water level that gives you an unobscured view of Fort Dennison.
On the day I visited an angler was here doing a spot of fishing with his pooch, and we struck up a quick and friendly chat. He said he’d caught a few fish. I didn’t want to impede on him too much so I took a few quick snaps, and bookmarked the spot in my brain for a return on another day.
For photographers, I suspect that if you get down there early enough with the tripod you’d could probably get a spectacular sunrise shot, that hasn’t been done to death like every other vantage point in Sydney.
Hidden locations like this get a big thumbs up in my book :)
