March 24, 2026, Quarry lookout

Daisy Hill Quarry is a former quarry that has now become a quiet, sheltered lake, framed by lush bushland. This lookout perched on exposed sandy rock offers a stunning view of the still, dark blue waters, bordered by aquatic plants. Surrounded by eucalypt forest, the steep quarry walls, along with the regrowth of vegetation, soften the reminders of its industrial history, making it a peaceful place to pause and enjoy the scenery.
