Highlight β€’ Viewpoint

A disused lookout and picnic area on Black Mountain. It still has parking and picnic tables, but I couldn't see any rubbish bins.

Black Mountain Nature Reserve

Highlight β€’ Forest

Black Mountain Nature Reserve covers around four hundred and thirty four hectares on the northern side of Lake Burley Griffin, protecting a large area of dry eucalypt forest and sandstone-based ecosystems. The geology supports high plant diversity, with over six hundred and sixty species recorded, including around sixty orchid species and dozens of rare plants.

It’s also an important habitat for birdlife, including species like the scarlet robin and gang gang cockatoo. There’s no entry fee, with basic facilities like picnic tables near the main access points.
