Perry's Lookdown is situated on the edge of the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains, Australia.[1] It is believed to have been named by Frederick Eccleston Du Faur after either Samuel Augustus Perry or a local innkeeper.[2] Free campsites (five individual sites) are adjacent to the car park.[3] The Blue Gum Forest is often accessed by foot from here, 656 vertical metres below the lookdown. The road to Blackheath is unsealed.[4]
