Billy Goat Hill Lookout
A short climb to sweeping views over Clare and the surrounding hills.
A short but steady climb above Clare township brings you to Billy Goat Hill Lookout, where the reward is a wide view across the town, its vineyards and the rolling hills beyond. It's a favourite spot to watch the light soften over the valley at the end of the day.
The walk is brisk rather than long, making it an easy way to earn a vista without committing to a full hike. Bring water and sturdy shoes for the uphill sections.
Sunset is the standout time, when the patchwork of vines and paddocks glows gold below.
