Red Hill
Offers two lookouts of the greater Canberra area, though nearly everyone comes here to see a view of the rest of South Canberra. Vehicular access is available and a casual cafe style restaurant is at the peak. Unfortunately, the trees may block the view, but if so, walk a few metres back and you'll get a better view.
