A short drive to the top end of George
Street at the back of Lorne is the scenic
spot known as Teddy’s Lookout. A newly
constructed walkway takes you to the
viewing platform where you have breath
taking, sweeping, coastal views of the
surf breaking into the mouth of the Saint
George River. On the lower platform to the
right, views change to mountainous peaks
and the Saint George river winding itself
into fern covered valleys and gorges.
A truly worthwhile spot for scenic views.
