Number 1 Tower
This magnificent lookout offers sweeping views of the Wilson River catchment and forests stretching all the way to the coast. The site has a long cultural history, which is central in the development of the timber industry in the area. It was formally the site of the Bellangry Number 1 Fire Tower, used to spot bushfire smoke in summer. Number 1 Tower can be found 1km off the Hastings Forest Way from the Five Ways junction, in Bellangry State Forest.
