“Give it a miss”

TripAdvisor ratingReviewed 1mo ago by BeijingEye

Very run down around the tower. Nothing much to see. View is overgrown. Not worth the drive up the hill. Consider an alternate location to see Canberra.

“Gone the way of Telstra service, non-existent”

TripAdvisor ratingReviewed 3mos ago by Getaway44599106427

Poor, not worth the effort, not even a look. Vandalised, barriers and nil access. Certainly would be an awesome opportunity to view Canberra, no signs until you get to the carpark to tell you it's...
