    The Telstra Tower is where you must certainly have the best view of all Canberra - from the top of the hill/mountain looking down on the lake and valley. I think it's about $4 for adults to go to the observation deck.

    Most people visit Telstra Tower for the view from the public gallery - it's spectacular, day or night.The tower rises 195 metres above the summit of Black Mountain, providing 360 degree views of Canberra and the countryside around it.The tower is more than a landmark and viewing gallery, however. It has a functional role in providing state-of-the-art telecommunications facilities for Canberra. In the lower level of the Tower's entrance foyer, the exhibition"Making Connections"traces the history of Australian telecommunications from the earliest days into the 21st century. In the exhibition you can see old equipment and photographs and listen to the colourful history of Australia's telecommunications.

    Here you see the Telstra Tower and rises 195 meters above the summit of Black Mountain and provides 360-degree views of Canberra and the surrounding countryside. Stunning views of the city can be seen by day are nights from two open viewing platforms or enclosed viewing gallery. This place is really worth a visit. See for more pics and info in the Telstra Tower travelogue please.

    Black Mountain is probably best known for the Telstra Tower that sits on top of it and the National Botanic Gardens that cover 50 hectares on its slops. The maze of tracks are popular with hikers with the slopes being planted entirely with native trees and plants.

    Telstra Tower is formerly known as Telecom Tower - The tower rises 195 metres above the summit of Black Mountain and has become a well known landmark in the city but it also provides state-of-the-art telecommunications facilities for the Capital. The lower level of the Tower houses an exhibition tracing the history of Australian telecommunications. You can see old equipment and photographs.

    The Telstra tower is simialr to Sydneys AMP tower although not as high, at night it is a nice touch to this 'ghost town'. Tall tower.
