Canberra is modern city, set within extensive parks and gardens and enjoys four distinct seasons. The nation's capital has a lot to offer the tourist.
Canberra has embraced café culture, and the city centre is vibrant with a host of shopping and dining options.
Set in a unique, almost rural setting, the impressive National War Memorial sits almost atop a hill overlooking the National Parliament, Lake Burleigh Griffin and what is arguably Australia's most unique museum - Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.
Easily reachable from Sydney, or as a stopover on a driving trip to Melbourne, get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and stay over for several days to visit the house of Australian government.
