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.

“Great view”
The view is fantastic and if one looks they can see wallabies en route to the top. Other than the view there is not much to do there.....but it is worth the effort.

“Good exercise up the "1000" steps”
And a good way to get a perspective of the Canberra layout for Visitors. For those not looking for a walk, I believe you can drive up too.

Just a short drive up from the War memorial through bush land. you can see the Parliament, lake, City & Air port all from one place.
