Dairy Farmers Hill Lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 A fantastic lookout and beautiful garden area at the top of the hill. The views are superb, with the 'Eagles Nest' statue overlooking the grassland hills. There's a few other pieces or artwork at the top of the lookout, with the carpark being relatively close. At one side of the lookout there's the...

Booroomba Rocks

Walk from the car park is around 30 minutes, trail is well marked. Car park is currently closed, but it does have a long drop toilet. The rocks themselves hold a lovely view back over the mountains. There are plenty of spots t...

Shepherds Lookout
Scenic spot
👍 One of the great bonuses of living in Australia's Bush Capital is............well just that really, the Capital really does have a lot of bush. And it is both close and very accessible within Canberra/ACT itself.

International Flag Display
Scenic spot
👍👍 I like the concept of it. Another location worth visiting when you are in Canberra. It is fun to test yourself to see how many flags you know and I see families with young kids doing that too. Nice to visit on a sunny day

Scrivener Dam lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 Worth a stop for 15-20 mins if the weather's dry, to take in the scenery and see how the Scrivener Dam works. Close to the Zoo and the Arboretum so doing a trip to either of those from the City, will bring you here.

Governor Head Lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 Well worth the 1km walk from the car park. Great view and the rocks below are a sight to see. Nice view over Bowen island, with a few bald eagles among other birds to be spotted, a little slippery when wet so make sure to have grippy shoes

Red Rock Gorge Lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 This is a relatively easy two hour return walk along the Kambah Centenary Trail, starting from just up the hill from the Kambah Beach car park. The scenery is magnificent from the lookout and from venturing carefully off track before the end of the gorge. The rocks are rhyodacitic ignimbrite of the...

Cotter Dam Lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 Amazing Amazing. I have been to Canberra and have visited some places, but this place is absolutely stunning. You can literally spend hours at the picnic spot or near the chilling River or enjoy the walking trails towards the Dam. The sound of the birds , winds n water gives you a natural peaceful...
