Mount Stromlo, Mountain summit in Australian Capital Territory, Australia
Mount Stromlo reaches an elevation of 770 meters and consists of ignimbrite rock formations dating back to the upper Silurian period.
The first telescope installation at Mount Stromlo in 1911 marked the beginning of astronomical research at what would become a significant observatory.
The mountain serves as part of the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, contributing to discoveries about cosmic expansion and dark energy.
Visitors can access Mount Stromlo through Cotter Road from the south and Uriarra Road from the east, leading directly to the summit.
The mountain's drainage system supplies multiple waterways, including Stoney Creek, Molonglo River, and Blugar Creek flowing into the Murrumbidgee River.
