 Description of 5 Rivers Lookout

Overlooking the town of Wyndham, at the summit of the Bastian Range is the Five Rivers Lookout - so named because of the vantage point over the Ord, Forrest, King, Durack and Pentecost Rivers that merge with the Cambridge Gulf.

A steep tar road leads to picnic shelters at the summit at an altitude of some 360m above sea level. There is a plaque with a map at the top that shows the area and identifies the rivers. There are also some barbecues and lots of space.
