A top spot to show off Tweed Heads and surrounds to visitors

We take all our visitors, interstate and international to Tom Beaston Outlook and they all gasp in awe at the spectactular view they behold.

It would be shameful to totally close this wonderful place which delights us as well as our visitors. There certainly needs to be funds spent on the Outlook and perhaps Council should consider a nice kiosk/cafe with outdoor and indoor seating for visitors to the Outlook to have a rest, drink and snack. The operator of the kisok/cafe would be responsible for the opening and closing of any gates.

It would be easy to see this spot becoming the number one choice for wedding photos once it is tidied up, the treed areas cleared of invassive creepers etc.

The potential of Tom Beaston Outlook is enormous, it should be touted as the prime spot to view what we have to offer local, intrastate, interstate and international tourists.

We have such a treasure there and yet it is being wasted, poorly maintained, in need of proper lighting, seating and the care that it rightly deserves.

My husband and I made a decision to move from Victoria to this area, one of the places that clinched the decision for us was a number visits to Tom Beaston Outlook and what we could see from there.

Tom Beaston Outlook needs to have its profile lifted and updated, and put on the must see places here in Tweed.

I would happily have regular picnics there with family and friends, but it is not possible right now as it stands.

The plants are just lovely when in bloom, the many varities of hibiscus and the trees, the original design can still be seen. It was to me a place to go for a Sunday walk after lunch or for courting couples under the watchful eye of chaperons. There is such a warm, tender feel about Tom Beaston Outlook and it really needs to be preserved and made safe for all to use.
