Alum Cliff Gorge can be found on a turnoff between the honey farm and Mole Creek on the Mersey Hill Road and is well sign posted. To get to the Alum Cliff Gorge it is a short 800m walk traversing a very well maintained pathway. It is an easy walk for young and old, the fit or unfit so make sure you give it a go.
It takes about 10 mins to complete the 800m walk one way to the lookout. The lookout is on two levels and looks out on the Alum Cliffs which are part of a g0rge cut by the Mersey River. The river itself cascades over numerous rapids cutting its way through the forest below and the gateway of the Alum Cliffs. It is a beautiful lookout with brilliant scenery of river, forest and the imposing and attractive Alum Cliffs. Well worth the detour if passing through Mole Creek, so turn the car up Mersey Hill Road, put on the walking shoes and give it a go!
