1987 marked a massive landslide that resulted in the giant slate walls in Apsley Gorge. A smaller landslide also added to this in 2005. The result of this is you being able to see massive gorge and the immense natural beauty that stemmed from it.

Well, the water from Apsley Gorge has to flow somewhere; that somewhere is this tiny innocuous deep-plunge pool just further down along with great views of the gorge.
McMillan Lookout
The main lookout where you can see Apsley Falls in its glory with its 123-metre-high drop – not much else to do other than enjoy the waterfall which in itself is the experience. Occasionally after heavy rain the mist from the waterfall may cross the gorge; make sure not to get your cameras wet!
This lookout is very similar in nature to Landslide and Lions Lookouts on the Gorge Rim Circuit – however, unlike the other lookouts on this track, you're more likely to get better views from Lions Lookout than here.
A nice small neat suspension bridge with a good view of the stream before the falls. Just don't jump on it when others around...
Very much a companion to Apsley Main Falls Lookout along the Gorge Rim Cct, except the views of the waterfall are a lot more clearer from here and you also get uninterrupted views of the gorge.
Similar to Oxley and Lower Pool Lookouts but provides better views of the lower drop and the gorge, especially views that you cannot see from the other side of the gorge.
