29 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Canberra side-trips: Cooma (Corrective Services NSW Museum, Mount Gladstone Lookout, &more), Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (in Paddys River) and Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre (in Sydney). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Australian War Memorial, admire the masterpieces at National Gallery of Australia, don't miss a visit to Mount Ainslie Lookout, and take in panoramic vistas at Telstra Tower.
