Manning Lookout is on the rim of the Kangaroo Valley just past Fitzroy Falls. From the lookout a track leads off through the scrub and follows the cliff edge to a further two old lookouts and then on to the waterfall of Crystal Pool just before it flows over the cliffs in to Kangaroo Valley.
This track originally built around 1937 was then "lost" for a period of time with the scrub reclaiming the track and the lookouts falling into disrepair. Even now the track disappears at times and a little scrub bashing is involved.

Crystal Pool and falls.
In another of the Robert Sloss guide books he calls this Blue Pool. Which we visited in June 2015 when there was a bit more water coming over the falls.
A nice 7.6klm walk. I'd say an easy walk except for loosing the track at times and pushing through the scrub. This wasn't too hard but my legs looked like they'd been through the mincer. Should have worn my gaiters or long pants.
