ACT
The nation's capital has a lot to offer the tourist. 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 - 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.
Enjoy and explore the magnificent art gallery, old parliament house, and the city's stunning parks and gardens. Canberra has embraced café culture, and the city centre is vibrant with a host of shopping and dining options.
