Why it's worth checking out
Punchbowl Lookout sits on Piggott Range Road at Onkaparinga Hills, in the hills south of Adelaide. A lovely scenic lookout with walking trails, it offers gorgeous views over the dramatic Onkaparinga Gorge and the surrounding hills and valleys — a beautiful, natural vantage point and a great spot for a walk in the scenic countryside.
The appeal is that combination of a beautiful outlook and rewarding trails: the lookout offers spectacular views over the gorge and the rolling hills, while the walking trails let you explore the lovely natural surrounds, with the chance to spot wildlife and enjoy the scenery. It's a wonderful, natural escape in the hills, popular with walkers and those after a scenic vantage point.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 180 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The lookout and trails are free and open, but conditions vary with the weather and the trails involve natural terrain, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking water, sun protection and decent footwear — while enjoying the gorge views and the trails at Punchbowl Lookout near Onkaparinga Hills.
