Crawford's Lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 Great little stop on the highway. Just pull up on the road side, and there will be a fence and a path leading to the lookout. You could do this on the way if you were visiting Nandroya, Tchulpa and Walliacha falls. Great view, but please don't leave your rubbish behind.
