Viewing the sunset at Mount Ainslie lookout, Canberra

Mount Ainslie in Canberra was our last tourist stop on our day trip to Canberra. After experiencing the Last Post ceremony at the War Memorial, we drove up to Mount Ainslie lookout and ended out day in Canberra watching the sunset and the golden light falling across Canberra. It was a very chilly and windy day at the lookout. I was glad I had my wind breaker jacket with me, but that didn’t stop my hands from freezing up while trying to photograph the sunset and Canberra city. From the lookout we had a great view of Anzac Parade, the top of the War Memorial and Parliament House. The mountains in the background framed the scene perfectly

This is actually Canberra’s airport, from the lookout, it looks like a tiny airstrip and airport.

The colours of the sunset was beautiful. It was definitely worth the wait in the cold and wind. It was a fitting way to end a great day trip to Canberra. This is the final post in my Canberra photo essay series. Next up, a trip into the famous Blue Mountains of New South Wales. Thanks for stopping by today.
