Why it's worth checking out
Himalayan Cedar Lookout sits in the hills on Canberra's western fringe, reached via Himalayan Cedar Road. A lovely scenic lookout, it offers sweeping views over the capital, the surrounding landscape and the ranges beyond — a peaceful, elevated vantage point that's become a genuine favourite for taking in the city panorama.
The appeal is that combination of an accessible, elevated outlook and a beautiful view: from the lookout you get a wide panorama over Canberra and its surrounds, making it a wonderful spot to pause, take in the scenery or watch the sunset over the capital. Being up in the hills yet close to the city gives it a real sense of escape.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 360 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The lookout is free and open, but conditions vary with the weather and the hilltop setting can be exposed, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking sun protection — while enjoying the sweeping views over Canberra from the Himalayan Cedar Lookout.
