Point Lookout is the name of a mountain in the New England National Park, near Ebor, Australia.

It is the second highest peak in the Snowy Range, a spur of the Great Dividing Range which forms the highest part, and eastern edge of, the New England Tableland. During cold spells the mountain may receive a light dusting of snow. [ [http://www2.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/parks.nsf/ParkContent/N0028?OpenDocument&ParkKey=N0028&Type=Xo DECC | Visiting a park ] ]

Point Lookout is also the name of the main visitor location in the New England National Park. It has spectacular views east across the Bellinger River valley, out to the more developed areas of the north coast of New South Wales.

On the escarpment only 10 minutes walk south is Banksia Point. There are a number of cabins and a hut here. These are available from the National Parks and Wildlife Service for short term stays in the park.
