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.

“Best spot to be in to see Canberra”
Great spot to see Canberra city. Can be very windy. We spent a good 30 min strolling the place. We spotted a few wild rabbits. Good place to do hiking.

“Best view of Canberra and free”
If you want an awesome view over Canberra and see how well planned and laid out the city is then a visit to Mt Ainslie is well worth the short drive (or longer walk) to the top. There is information...

“Awesome views”
Took a group of Canberra first timers up the hill and they were blown away (not by the wind) by the views. Must do for visitors I feel. Great photo opps.
