Johns Hill Reserve Lookout

Johns Hill Reserve Lookout is a viewpoint located in Kallista which gives visitors panoramic views of the Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley and the Kinglake National Park.

Some of the attractions that are visible from the lookout include the Cardinia Reservoir, Mount St. Leonard as well as the iconic Port Philip Bay.

There is an information board here which provides relevant information about the region, including an in-depth look at its rich history. The lookout sits at about 410 metres above sea level and can be very windy! So make sure to dress warmly in the winter months.

There are picnic tables located at the lookout as well as walking trails. The walking track cuts across the Reserve. More importantly, the track is very steep as there is a change of about 200 metres in altitude. This track is definitely challenging, and is recommended for seasoned hikers.
