The BEST Places to PROPOSE in Canberra

One of my girlfriends recently got popped the question. Her boyfriend did it up the top of Mount Ainslie in the most beautiful way. They had found a little section on the mountain where they had hidden off to; they were having a picnic when he got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever. Insert ‘Awwww’. The pictures were amazing!

If you too are getting close with your partner, you might need a little inspiration on where exactly to do the honour. After chatting to friends and people in the office, we’ve come up with these top ten places.

Mt Stromlo

Instagrammer @techosapien took this breath-taking photo on the first weekend of summer at Canberra’s Mt Stromlo Observatory. The shell of the original observatory damaged by the 2003 Canberra bushfires still remains and is popular with photographers along with the spectacular views over Canberra and the Brindabellas. #visitcanberra #onegoodthingafteranother
