Point Pilcher Lookout<br />
MEDLOW BATH, NSW, 2780<br />
More information<br />
The original track to Point Pilcher was built by Mark Foys gardener. It is about 5.2km from the GWH. The<br />
last 3.5km is a dirt road. The reward, however, is a superb view down to Govetts Gorge and across dense<br />
bushland, known as the Grose Wilderness, which has remained totally untouched.<br />
This is one of the most isolated areas in the <strong>Blue</strong> Mountains. Named after Charles Edward Pilcher<br />
1844-19<strong>16</strong>, a barrister and politician. The road to the lookout was constructed in 1964. The story goes<br />
"Mark Foy probably named the area after Norman George Stafford Pilcher, Charles Edward Pilcher<br />
1844-19<strong>16</strong>, a barrister and politician. Pilcher was the MLA for West Macquarie 1875-1882.<br />

Dargan Arch is a picturesque natural sandstone arch tucked away in a lesser-visited part of the <strong>Blue</strong><br />
Mountains. It’s the result of a long collapsed cave and it’s a fun and unusual spot to explore. It’s not<br />
signposted and tends to see few visitors so it’s likely you’ll get the whole thing to yourself.<br />
It has a length of 14m, a width of 8m and a height of 9.3m. Allow 1hr for the return walk.
