Mount Ainslie, Nature reserve summit in Canberra, Australia.
Mount Ainslie rises 843 meters above sea level within Canberra Nature Park, providing panoramic views of Lake Burley Griffin and the capital city.
The Australian War Memorial constructed the Kokoda summit trail with plaques that mirror the actual distances of the World War II battles in Papua New Guinea.
The Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples consider Mount Ainslie a sacred location, with over 30 Aboriginal heritage sites identified within its boundaries.
Visitors can access the summit through multiple methods, including a 4.5-kilometer walking track that starts behind the Australian War Memorial.
An air navigation beacon at the summit guides aircraft to Canberra Airport while marking the northernmost point of Walter Burley Griffin's land axis design.
