Beautifully landscaped and maintained, plenty of parking.But no view.Surrounding trees block any and all views.Very disappointed that the tower which once held a cafe and restaurant has been closed for years. No signage, just fenced off.Canberra is an architecturally designed city and the purpose built tower and viewing area are closed.Shame on Canberra for letting this happen.

Telstra tower is closed for renovations. The entire cliff is unkept, with no view from the top of the lookout. All you can see is grass, bushes and more grass. It's like no one cares about the upkeep of this nature reserve anymore while the tower is closed! Unfortunately, this ruined the whole experience for us. There exist other lookouts in Canberra that are considerably better! Go to them. Don't bother with this gloom.

It's a great shame that this iconic place has been left to decay as it has. The views should be great, but no one has trimmed back the trees for a few years by the look of it, so there are no views at all, other than a few glimpse on the way up and down.

Incredible diversity of local flora with understory in great condition relative to some other parts of Canberra nature park. Download the PDF map of trails. Can walk in also from some gates at the highest boundary with the ANB Gardens. There's a great summit loop track. The Telecom tower was the subject of litigation back in the early 70s which helped to define the scope of tort actions in public nuisance. You may well meet the local hopping marsupials unexpectedly. No single track MTB for good reason due to rare plant diversity but riding on fire trails is ok.

Really only small areas to get glimpses of the city and unfortunately quite run down. Paths in need of cleaning up as they are overgrown and there are many trip hazards. Looks like the local hoons have been using the car park for skids. For such a prominent position and possibly awesome view's it was disappointing.

The reserve was goodPlenty of walking tracks.There is an info sign in the car park that shows different trials around Canberra to do.The Telstra tower has seen better days.Very sad that its not openThere are small pockets of areas that provide a view over Canberra.Caution for bike riders either going and especially driving down.Overall still worth a visit.

It would have been nice to know the Telstra Tower was closed before we got there. Some minor views if you look hard because most of the viewing is designed to be done from up top.
