Overview

Situated north of Canberra in the suburb of Cook, Mount Painter has an array of peaceful walks that feature great views of the surrounding landscape. The summit walk is one of the most popular, thanks to its sealed trail and multiple lookout points.

It begins at Bindubi Street, and the first views you'll come across are of Mount Ainslie and Black Mountain. Just up ahead, there are sprawling views to the west of the Brindabella Mountain Range. Taking just over an hour to finish, this urban walk is one that you can take on and complete before breakfast.
