Mount Kembla Lookout

Natural Attractions

The Mount Kembla lookout offers amazing views of Lake Illawarra and the coastline. For hikers, it’s a 30-minute walk uphill from Mt Kembla village and is the starting point for the 5.3-kilometre Ring and Summit tracks.

Kembla is an Aboriginal word meaning “wild game abundant” or “plenty of game”. The Dharawal Aboriginal people called the area “Jum-bullah” or “Djembla” which means, wallaby.

There are no facilities at the lookout.
