   Camel Hump Lookout     

Access is 1 km south of Hawker next to the Quorn road. A very short climb offers panoramic views of Hawker and the Central Flinders Ranges. An ideal activity that only takes 15 minutes or as long as you like - photographers love the exceptional light conditions early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

 Castle Rock Lookout     

Within 2 km from town, the prominent rock formation east of the town offers excellent views of Hawker, Yourambulla Range, Elder Range and Wilpena Pound.

Jarvis Hill Lookout     

Jarvis Hill, about 6 km south west of Hawker has for many years been a popular place for the locals to take relatives and friends to share the panoramic views of the Hawker area, including the Worumba Hills to the east, Wilpena Pound, Elder Range and Wonoka Hill to the north and Yourambulla Range to the south.

Police Hill Lookout     

North of the Hotel, offering panoramic views. Police Hill was so named because it was used as a paddock for police horses and as a pound for straying stock found in the town. A police trooper, Trooper Coe, was stationed at Hawker in 1880. A Police Station and residence was eventually built in 1883. Prior to this lawbreakers were tied to a pole until they could be taken to a proper jail.
