Morgan’s Lookout Point
Morgan’s Lookout Point
A landmark location in the legend of Mad Dan Morgan, a notorious bushranger in the 1860s, this lookout point is the actual hiding spot that Mad Dan used to evade capture. The granite outcrop was used as a vantage lookout point to watch out for threats.
Today, it is a popular picnic spot and stairs have been installed to allow visitors to climb to the top to enjoy the 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside. Treadwell was engaged to supply and install the stair treads for this staircase.
Project Challenges
- Installation on terrain.
- Weather conditions would impact on installation schedule.
- Stair treads had to maintain integrity even high traffic situations as well as being in constant exposure to the outdoor elements.

Treadwell Solution
- Treadwell FRP Stair Treads are moulded with the solid leading edge nosing as a joint single stage component. This increases the rigour and sturdiness of the entire leading edge ensuring dependable performance in high traffic conditions.
- The depth of the stair tread can be customized to accommodate stair landings.
- FRP is simply fabricated and modified on site. This means there is no need for any hot works permit.
- Being lightweight and easy to install, FRP is very manageable during construction.
- Given the nature of FRP, any system utilising it is virtually maintenance free, keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
