Day Three - Canberra
Home » Australia » Australia - Week Itinerary » Day Three - CanberraAustralia’s capital is home to many of the country’s most important public buildings, art works and institutions. It’s also a great place to enjoy parks, gardens and natural surrounds. Canberra's art collections are showcased in the National Gallery of Australia, along with the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House and the Nolan Gallery to name just a few. Canberra’s cool climate produces some award-winning wines grown around the townships of Murrumbateman, Hall and Bungendore. Local produce and creative chefs ensure a well-matched dining experience.
Canberra is often called the Bush Capital because of nearby Canberra Nature Park and Namadgi National Park. Almost half of the Australian Capital Territory is parkland or bushland, making Canberra a natural spot for an escape into the Great Outdoors. Sightseeing can be done through organized tours, or it is easy to hire a car and explore for yourself.
There are many educational and fun activities for children in Canberra. Hands-on science exhibits, the new National Museum of Australia and more will keep kids of all ages amused.
