It is no mistake that Mount Ainslie commands our attention, with its position at the head of Anzac Parade, directly opposite Parliament House. Architect Walter Burley Griffin incorporated the natural features of the landscape into his design for the new capital city of Canberra. From above the eucalyptus tree tops on Mount Ainslie, you can view the entire city, from the white spray of the Captain Cook Memorial water jet to the largest flag in Australia fluttering atop the capital building. A short drive, or if you prefer, an hour walk, are both acceptable ways to reach the top for these exquisite views.
