The
Dolphin's Nose viewpoint
, about 10km from town, exposes a vast panorama encompassing
picnic spot in a pretty patch of forest, has amazing views past the hills to the hazy plains.
The easiest way to see these sights is a rickshaw tour for around ?600. If you like, walk
the 6km or so back into town from Lamb's Rock (it's mostly downhill).
