Mount Ainslie Lookout
Walk, cycle or drive to the lookout and enjoy the impressive scenery, lovely at all times but a particular treat at sunrise and sunset.
Take in Lake Burley Griffin and many of Canberra's national attractions, framed by picturesque mountain ranges.
See how Walter Burley Griffin’s vision for the city has been brought to life.
A hotspot for photographers, the vista is complemented by the abundance of native birds and wildlife.

“View”
The lookout had great views over the entire Canberra. Would recommend this for tourists. Easy to find and get to if you have transport.

“Spectacular views”
Day or night the 360 degree views of Canberra the bush capital are spectacular. It can be windy and cold during winter. Plenty of parking at the end of the winding road.
