Z-Bend Lookout

Z-Bend Lookout features elevated observation platforms providing 180-degree views of the Murchison River Gorge and surrounding sandstone formations.

The Murchison River carved deep gorges through the Tumblagooda Sandstone over millions of years, creating the distinctive Z-shaped formation visible from the lookout.

The Nanda people maintain strong connections to this land within Kalbarri National Park, holding traditional knowledge of its geological formations and natural resources.

A 600-meter walking trail connects the parking area to the lookout, with accessible facilities available for the first 190 meters before reaching the stepped sections.

The Four Ways Trail descends from the lookout into the gorge, offering a challenging 6-kilometer return journey to reach the Murchison River's edge.
