The largest of Canberra's 27 Nature Parks, Black Mountain is home to Black Mountain Tower, a city landmark, and the Australian National Botanic Gardens. For those interested in a true bush walk, there are several different access points including the top of Black Mountain drive. If your goal is simply to wander, the Aranda Bushlands is a small section of the park, which is enjoyable for walkers, cyclists and horse enthusiasts. If physical exertion is not the order of the day, drive to the tower and enjoy the view. The entire city is laid out before you.
