Completed in 2025, Poombeeyt Koontapool is a new lookout taking in the full view of the blow hole at Loch Ard Gorge in Port Campbell National Park.
The lookout structure is inspired by the shape of a Southern Right Whale, and Poombeeyt Koontapool means ‘breath of the whale’ in First Nations Keerray Woorroong language. The water spouting from the blowhole is named for the whale spout.
The Loch Ard Gorge Precinct includes several trails and lookouts taking in different views of the landscape, cliffs and Southern Ocean and to explore the full precinct you should allow at least an hour.
This site is free for public access and wheelchair accessible. There is limited parking near the blowhole, and the main car park is around a 10 minute easy walk from Poombeeyt Kootapool.
