Black Mountain Nature Reserve Mitchell, Australian Capital Territory 2911

"Nothing much to see there and work in progress at this site. The nearby lookout point is good."

"Very refreshing small hike .. and get mesmerized with the capital city!!"

"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."

"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."

"The reserve was good Plenty 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 open There 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."
