Power's Lookout
The lookout provides vistas of the Upper King Valley and the Alpine National Park, it was named after notorious bushranger Harry Powers.
Harry Power (1819–1891) was an Australian Bushranger, who at one time had Ned Kelly, Australia’s most famous bushranger as his accomplice while a teenager.
Harry Power was one of the last of the highwayman-style bushrangers. In 1869, he met the then 14 year old Ned, who became his apprentice and together they conducted their stick ups in the King Valley.
This is the place where Harry Powers used to hideout. Power used the lookout as a base camp. It provided clear views over the valley,
it is believed the lookout was a vantage point for bushranger to view approaching troopers during his period of notoriety in the north-east in the 1860s.
Harry Power was captured at Power's Lookout by the police on the 5th June 1870.
