You can reach Telstra Tower by car from the Black Mountain Drive turn-off on Clunies Ross Street, near the entrance to the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Follow the scenic short drive to the top where you will find ample free parking.

Black Mountain has several walking tracks that will take you to the top of the summit.  Try the “Flower to Tower" walk through the Australian National Botanical Gardens 
Ask for directions or grab a walking map to the Black  Mountain Gate (Open 9.30am - 4.30pm) and follow the signs to the top. The walk up takes approx. 25 minutes.

The substation at Frith Road behind the CSIRO, is another good access point to climb the mountain.
