Wineglass Bay Lookout
Wineglass Bay Lookout - NatureTREAD™
Wineglass Bay, Tasmania – With crystal clear waters and curving white beaches, this is one of Tasmania’s most celebrated views. Visited by thousands of locals and tourists, the visitor experience is now enhanced by the building of a new lookout, opening up the view of the breathtaking Wineglass Bay. This lookout was carefully designed to fit in with the natural surroundings and allows for the growing numbers of visitors greater accessibility across the hillside.
Helmed by CPT Engineering, Treadwell was engaged to supply the FRP grating for this new structure.
