The original lookout was built in about 1961 by the Snowy Mountains Authority
and was upgraded for the Queen's visit in 1963. It has since been
substantially improved by the NPWS with the addition of the viewing
platform, landscaping and changes to the car park. Scammells Ridge
Despite its name, the lookout is not on Scammells Ridge but 2.5 km to the south.
The ridge was named after the Scammell family who ere among the early selectors
in the Khancoban area during the 1860s.
The Scammells used the ridge, which runs to the north-east, as access for the
summer grazing of cattle in areas such as Pretty Plain in the upper reaches of
the Tooma River.
