A landmark of Canberra, Telstra Tower is the compass of the city; always letting you know where you are. Also called Black Mountain Tower, this modern pinnacle of technology rises from the centre of Canberra Nature Park and offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside. Rising 195 metres above the summit of Black Mountain, the tower was opened in 1980 and provides vital communication facilities for Canberra. The tower provides both inside and outside viewing galleries, a telecommunications museum, cafe, revolving restaurant and gift shop.
