Mount Majura, Mountain summit in Canberra, Australia.
Description
Mount Majura rises to 888 meters and is the highest point in the northern section of Canberra. The summit offers views across the city and surrounding landscape filled with woodlands and open grasslands.
History
Robert Campbell, an early landowner in the region, named Mount Majura, which appeared on Thomas Mitchell's 1831 survey map. The name has remained tied to the location ever since.
Culture
The mountain stands on Ngunnawal Country, where Aboriginal people traveled through the area to connect the Majura Valley with surrounding ridges. This route served as a key pathway across the landscape.
Practical
The path to the summit is well marked and passes through woodland and open terrain, so sturdy footwear helps. Arrive early in the day if you prefer fewer people, as the mountain becomes busy in good weather.
