Canberra, Australia’s capital city, is located midway between Sydney and Melbourne. Unlike other Australian capitals, it is situated inland, which makes for a different experience.
For the visitor it has much to offer. Of course, there are the parliamentary buildings, however, Canberra also offers art galleries, museums, parklands and more.
As a visitor, there are a wide range of activities available. For example, you can go hot air ballooning, go on a walking tour, or checkout the architecture of the city. In addition, Canberra hosts a number of events and exhibitions.
Between 17 September and 16 October, Canberra is hosting Floriade – Australia’s largest Celebration of Spring. Held in Commonwealth Park, it features a display of over 1 million blooms.
Alternatively, there is the Australians & Hollywood Exhibition by the National Film and Sound Archive. This exhibition runs through to the end of 2023, and features cinema moments, rare behind-the-scenes footage, and props from the NFSA collection.
