Why it's worth checking out
The Dairy Farmers Hill Lookout sits at the National Arboretum on Forest Drive in Canberra. A much-loved lookout, it offers spectacular views — a stunning vantage point at the top of the Arboretum, taking in sweeping outlooks over Canberra, Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding hills, the kind of breathtaking spot that's a genuine highlight of a visit to the Arboretum.
The appeal is that combination of a gorgeous setting and genuinely spectacular views: the sweeping panorama over the city, the lake and the ranges, plus the lovely Arboretum surrounds and the striking Wide Brown Land sculpture nearby, make it a wonderful spot for taking in the scenery, a photo or a relaxed visit. It's a natural highlight of the beautiful National Arboretum.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The Arboretum and lookout are generally free and open, but access, facilities, opening hours and any events vary, so it's worth checking Arboretum information before you go, taking sun protection — then enjoying the spectacular views from the Dairy Farmers Hill Lookout in Canberra.
