Australia’s
capital, Canberra, is a modern city just three hours south of Sydney.
There is so much to experience from shopping and attractions to a
calendar full of events and festivals.
Canberra is great for
families with a range of activities including fun science at
Questacon, interactive displays at the National Museum of Australia
and the National Zoo and Aquarium. Celebrate Australia’s sporting
achievements at the Australian Institute of Sport, learn their
political history at Parliament House and take time to reflect at the
Australian War Memorial.
For retail therapy there are malls,
shopping centres and exquisite boutiques, from the arcades in the
city, stylish Lonsdale Street in Braddon and the designer boutiques
of Manuka and Kingston, and of course there are weekend markets for
handcrafted wares.
Canberra is a great base for exploring the
surrounding region; discover more than 30 wineries, explore historic
townships and beautiful coastlines. The famous Snowy Mountains are
easily accessible so you can combine your city stay with a snow
holiday during winter or a mountain escape during summer.
