Canberra and surrounds
Aside from being the nation’s capital, Canberra might not be a bustling metropolis, but it is unique in every way. In fact, it is also referred to as the Bush Capital due to the sweeping nature reserves and surrounding mountain ranges. From the very beginning, the city was planned to preserve this natural beauty with vast open spaces that allowed the native vegetation and wildlife to thrive. Whether you are looking for family fun, history and culture, food and wine or an adventure in the outdoors, Canberra will deliver.
