Telstra Tower

Also known as Black Mountain Tower, Telstra Tower is located atop Black Mountain in Canberra, the capital territory of Australia. Opened to visitors in 1980, it has become one of Canberra’s most renowned tourist attractions. Standing at 192.5 meters tall, it is the highest point in the Canberra region and serves as both a popular sightseeing landmark and an important telecommunications facility.

The primary function of Telstra Tower is to provide telecommunications infrastructure as the sole electronic transmission base for the city and surrounding areas. The tower houses five scenic restaurants, a theater, a café, an observation deck, and a gift shop, allowing visitors to enjoy Canberra’s beautiful scenery while dining or sipping coffee. Telstra Tower offers a 360-degree panoramic view, enabling guests to appreciate the charm of Canberra from various perspectives. Since its construction, over six million visitors have come to see the tower.

Telstra Tower has become one of Canberra’s iconic landmarks and most attractive sights. A visit to Canberra is not complete without experiencing the stunning views from the tower—it would be a missed opportunity.
