Australia’s capital is a lot more than the country’s political heartland
Canberra holds some of the country’s cultural crown jewels; from the National Museum to the Gallery of Australia. The Australian War Memorial is an emotionally powerful place and well worth a visit for anyone interested in understanding many key moments in Australia’s history. During the winter months, the Canberra Region Truffle Festival takes place. Go on your own truffle hunt or simply sit back at one of the ACT’s many restaurants and enjoy some culinary delights. Kayaking or boat cruising is available on Lake Burley Griffin and there is an abundance of nature parks and reserves to discover nearby.
