Mount Ainslie Lookout

Mount Ainslie Lookout

Providing outstanding views of Australia’s capital city, Mount Ainslie Lookout is a must see place when visiting Canberra. Only a five-minute drive from the War Memorial, although up a windy road, it’s easy to get to.

Several viewing platforms provide vantage points to see the main axis of the city. From here, you can see the Australian War Memorial, at the top of ANZAC Parade. Across Lake Burley Griffin, Old Parliament House sits below Parliament House.

In the photos below, The War Memorial is at the bottom with the domed building. ANZAC Parade is the wide road with the red centre section. Old Parliament House is across the lake and halfway up the hill, while the new centre of Australia’s government has the large flagpole above it.
