#7 - Red Hill Lookout

Date: 8 Mar 2014

Points of Interest: Tourist site, great views, cafe

Difficulty rating: 0

Appearances aside, the Red Hill Lookout is not on the nose. On the contrary, it is a pleasant place for afternoon tea with excellent views of Canberra, although you do pay extra for the privilege.

Ceri and I enjoyed a coffee (tea for me) and shared a passion fruit - date cake on the way home from previously checking out the displays at the National Gallery.

On the hill conquest side of things, this is not strictly one of Canberra's trig stations -- but we will count it nevertheless. The actual Major Control marks are MC-Red Hill East and MC- Red Hill Ecce, and both are just a short drive down and are only a few steps away from the road. Neither of these are quadripods, so decided to ignore them.
