The first trig station visited in north Canberra!
Originally called Round Hill, Mount Painter has excellent 360 views covering Black Mountain, the Cook suburb, Canberra CBD, Molonglo Valley, Canberra Arboretum and Woden Valley in the distance.
Quite a popular hill, with a well-formed path to the quadripod. Observed a couple of families with young children walking up. I took a more direct route up the hill, but followed the path down.
Enjoyed the views at the top while eating my customary piece of fruit.
There is a community-run revegetation project, and signs of the project can be seen in many areas of the hill.
