From this lookout you’ll be treated to sweeping vistas of Kingston, our stunning golf course and the coast. The view showcases Norfolk Island’s natural assets, with green hills covered in pine trees in the foreground and the bluer-than-blue ocean stretching out into the great beyond. Emerging out of the water in the distance are two chunks of land: Phillip Island and Nepean Island.

Queen Elizabeth Lookout also offers a bird’s-eye view of the elegant Georgian buildings on Quality Row where, during the island’s 19th-century penal colony, a lucky few lived. A stone’s throw away, the unlucky prisoners were packed into cramped gaols.

After soaking up the scenery, drive back down toward the shore to explore the convict ruins of the Kingston UNESCO World Heritage Site.
