25 days in Canberra Itinerary

A planned city with streets laid out in elaborate, geometric patterns and founded specifically to serve as the capital of the emerging Australian state, Canberra has a self-sufficient atmosphere.

Visit Shoalhaven River Gorge and St. Saviour's Cathedral for their historical value. Head to Macenmist Black Truffles & Wines and Arcadia Crookwellfor some retail therapy. Explore Canberra's surroundings by going to Murrumbateman (Jeir Creek Wines, Four Winds Vineyard, &more), Surveyor's Hill Bed and Breakfast (in Wallaroo) and Wee Jasper Reserves (in Wee Jasper). Spend the 6th (Wed) exploring nature at Morton National Park. Spend the 13th (Wed) exploring nature at Bungonia National Park. There's much more to do: take an in-depth tour of Australian War Memorial, engage your brain at Questacon, explore the activities along Lake Burley Griffin, and don't miss a visit to Parliament of Australia.
