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.

“Worth a visit!”
We visited this beautiful spot right on sunset, and were so glad we did. Such wonderful serenity to this wonderful location!

“Spectacular view of Canberra!”
Walked up from the Australian War Memorial and I have to say, the view is spectacular and unobstructed compared to Black Mountain Lookout/Telstra Tower (which you have to pay to view).
I would say...

“Smoke impacted the view”
This would be a great place to see Canberra on a clear day! Unfortunately, we were in Canberra whilst NSW burned and the smoke heavily affected the view. Was still a great place, definitely recommend!
