What makes it 56% Couple-Friendly: Pairs can share a sunset picnic overlooking Belconnen and grab meals downstairs, yet the spot is roadside, exposed and without benches, limiting comfort for longer romantic linger.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: This allows time to hike up the slope, enjoy a picnic, sketch or photograph at golden hour, and explore nearby amenities.
Golden Hour Viewing:
Watch the sunrise or sunset over Belconnen from the lookout slope.
Tip: Bring a small blanket or fold-up stools. Park safely on the road shoulder and walk up just before golden hour.
KFC Picnic at the Lookout:
Share Value Meals from the KFC below while overlooking the suburbs.
Tip: Order two Value Meals (AUD 10–20 each) and carry them up for a casual picnic.
Shared Journal & Sketch Date:
Record thoughts or sketch the view together on your blanket.
Tip: Swap pages for a keepsake. Bring simple pens or watercolours.
Drone or Video Session:
Film the lookout and KFC building with your drone or phone.
Tip: Check Canberra drone rules and launch from the side road off Emu Bank Road.

15th Dec at 7:42pm Takeaway counter. A male staff member was transferring few pieces of wicked wing chicken from the food warmer to the take away box when accidentally one piece chicken fell on top of the counter. The stainless steel counter top doesn't seem clean and tidy as evident of several foods scraps all over. He initially swiped away the piece of chicken as if rejected and proceeded to tak...

6 Dec 2025 at 12:30pm. The place looks rarely cleaned. I went into the male toilet, where the urinal was blocked and due to the automatic flushing, was overflowing onto the floor. In the toilet cubical was a toilet brush that was black and looks like it has never been cleaned and the soap dispenser was also empty so you could not wash your hands. I then when into the other toilet so I could wash m...

I visited last night and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The team members didn’t seem engaged. Several were on their phones or had earphones in while working. The hygiene standards also appeared to be quite poor. I waited around 30 minutes for my order before eventually asking for a refund. To her credit, the manager did come out to help the team, but by then there was alread...

Coming from Sydney, best KFC we’ve experienced. The food came fast, our wicked wings were perfectly fried and the sizes of the chicken were consistent. Same goes with the drumsticks. Kind customer service was given, and the workers aren’t stingy with the portions or materials. Would come again if I lived here.

Staff at the drive-thru need better training on how to speak with Uber drivers. Some of them are quite rude and unhelpful. Also, during heavy rain, it’s not fair to expect drivers to stand outside and collect the order – the food and bags get soaked and damaged. Please train your team to be more respectful and allow orders to be handed over through the drive-thru window in such situations.
In summer start just before sunset to avoid peak heat. In winter wear warm layers for chilly evenings. Spring and autumn offer mild weather ideal for picnics.
