Yankee Hat

Yankee Hat is a mountain and Aboriginal rock art site in Namadgi National Park, south of Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. The area is known for the Yankee Hat rock shelter, which contains well-preserved Aboriginal paintings, and for its granite peak rising above the Gudgenby Valley. Accessed via the Yankee Hat Rock Art walking track, it offers cultural heritage, natural bushland and views of the surrounding Brindabella Ranges.

Visitors can expect a natural bushland setting in Namadgi National Park accessed via a marked walking track from the Yankee Hat car park. The track leads through open grassland and woodland to a large rock shelter containing Aboriginal paintings. The shelter is viewed from a protected viewing area with interpretive signage explaining the art and landscape. Surroundings include granite outcrops, views toward Yankee Hat mountain and the Gudgenby Valley, and opportunities for nature observation along the trail.
