The Three Springs area is rich in talc. There’s an established mining industry and the local company has developed a superb look out that’s great both day and night! At the top of the hill there’s a terrific panoramic view for fantastic wide-angle images.
From the look out, the town lights of Three Springs and Carnamah are visible which can interrupt the dark horizon. We’re currently working with Council to choose another location in the area that will give astrophotographers a different landscape to capture.
Directions to the Talc Mine Lookout are marked with brown and white tourism signs.
