An opportune rest area where you can get an impression of the vastness of lake George.
On a clear day you will be able to view the wind turbines in the distance.
Be aware: the highway onramp heading toward Canberra is only short and is also uphill so be prepared to accelerate quickly as you leave the carpark.

Iconic to Canberra, the Telstra Tower remains closed with no signs of reopening any time soon.
The drive to the carpark is still open and you can look at the building from the ground level. The carpark is surrounded by mature trees so it is not really possible to view the city.
If you want to see a Canberra icon from the ground, it is worth a quick visit but do not expect anything amazing,

A beautiful place to visit that is close to Canberra.
The picnic area is beautiful and has lots of shady trees. It is very popular with families.
The dam lookout area winds through pine trees alongside the Cotter river.
A lovely place to visit a unique dam.

This is a hidden oasis tucked in away behind the concert hall, the Blue Ribbon Garden is a nice getaway from the concrete jungle of LA.
This is a nice and peaceful area that would be suitable to read a book or enjoy a coffee. It is lovely that the area is free to enter for all to enjoy.

This was exactly the meal I wanted while in the Utah outback. Hearty food in a good atmosphere.
I got the Flat Iron meal which was the lowest price steak. It was served with beans, a piece of Texas Toast (garlic bread) and a salad. The salad was very basic and the beans were a bit watery for my liking, but steak was good and I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere.
They do not have an alcohol license so you will need to BYO if you want to enjoy a beer with your meal.
Service is good and the payment terminal is surprisingly modern.
