Jimmy Newells Harbour Lookout, Coastal viewpoint in Torndirrup National Park, Australia.
Jimmy Newells Harbour Lookout is an elevated observation platform in a national park along the southwestern coast of Australia. The platform offers views of turquoise water and the granite rock formations that line the shoreline.
The place takes its name from James Newhill, a convict who escaped and settled here in the 1820s. His arrival marks one of the early chapters in the European story of this coastal region.
The name comes from a former convict who settled here in the early 1800s and became part of the area's maritime story. Plaques at the site explain how fishing has shaped the lives of people in this region for generations.
The lookout sits about 10 kilometers from town and offers secure railings and parking for easy access. The platform is open year-round and provides good spots to watch boats and birds moving across the water.
The platform sits in a good spot for watching sea eagles and fish eagles hunt between the rocky cliffs. These birds of prey visit regularly and use the harbor area as a hunting ground.
