Mount Stromlo Observatory popular with photographers. See spectacular views over Canberra and the Brindabellas and make use of the barbeque and picnic facilities.

Old Observatory skeleton destroyed in 2003 bush fires still stands. At the north foot of the mountain is the Canberra bushfire memorial - moving and tranquil. Mountain bike competitions here too.
