Rising 195 metres above the summit of Black Mountain, the Telstra Tower presents 360 degree views of the city and the Brindabella Ranges. Visitors taking advantage of he two open viewing platforms or the enclosed viewing gallery are presented with striking views of the city by day. From every angle at night the theatrics of the city's lights under the darkened sky provide a spectacular show of natural beauty and entertainment.
As well as offering visitors education, entertainment and spectacular views, the Telstra Tower has a functional role. The Telstra Tower provides essential communications facilities for the National Capital, including major trunk line radio telephony facilities, television transmitters for national and commercial services, FM radio transmitters, mobile radio telephone, and cellular phone base stations.
This elegant Tower on the summit of Black Mountain has won two awards for outstanding design. The first in 1979, for imaginative and effective use of concrete in a building. The Tower won its second award, the 1980 Civic Design Award of the ACT Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.
The Tower incorporates a theatrette, cafe and gift shop and the Executive Briefing Centre; meeting rooms with state of the art AV, spectacular views and free parking.
Since opening in 1980, Telstra Tower has continually created an attraction of immense fascination and appeal, marking it one of the National Capital's most popular tourist and local attractions.

Former First Leeds X84 brand 37672 now resides at Huddersfield. Seen here negotiating the tight country lanes round Oldfield on route 308. You can just make out in the distance (through the mass of telephone and internet lines) Emley Moor Transmitter Mast - the tallest freestanding structure in the UK.
The Telecom Christmas tree at Auckland Viaduct. (No it's not really leaning, that's the wide angle distortion....)
For people overseas who may not be aware, there was a slight hiccup when this tree was being set up... see the video here.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Can you hear me now? I came across this pretty pink toy cell phone with plastic xmas-tree antennae one day. I placed it on this stone cairn - one that someone had built.
