What people are saying:
Viewed from different angles, this fountain actually looks very beautiful sometimes, and sometimes looks quite ordinary. It is mainly a monumental fountain, so there is no supporting landscape.

Captain Cook is a racist and this memorial deserves to be made in a better persons name. It's sad to see such a beautiful water jet named after such a horrible person.
The Captain Cook Memorial Water Jet is a Canberra landmark. It is a great sight and can be seen from a number of spots at some distance. We have seen it on many occasions when visiting Canberra, altho...

This looks beautiful in the lake and makes a lovely setting. It certainly powers up to a great height but even though it does this, it is not something I would go purposely to see. If you are going ...
Travelled to Canberra and waited till 12:30 to see the water jet before we drove back to Melbourne. Water jet wasn’t on. It was ANZAC day so not sure if it was because of that.

This fountain is located in the middle of the lake. In fact, it is a very large fountain. When there is wind, the water vapor of its fountain will be blown to the shore. It was built to commemorate Captain Cook. But it is relatively single.
Captain Cook Memorial Fountain, but to be honest, if you just look at this fountain, it is really boring, although its water column is high, but there is no scenery around it that matches it, it feels like a water pipe exploded.
It is said that it is the tallest fountain in the world. It seems that the overall height is more than 130 meters. It is a landscape built to commemorate Captain Cook, but I think it is really super boring. There is nothing beautiful and not beautiful.
I didn't specifically go to see this place, I just saw it when the car was passing by. The whole fountain is still very high, because it can be seen from a long distance, but I think it is just a fountain is quite boring.
