Tree Railway
Canberra, City of Trees
Canberra is the capital city of Australia and considered to be the best planned city in the world. It is a modern and pollution free city without the peak hour traffic problems common to other cities. With a population of over 345,000, it is Australia’s largest inland city and a lucrative destination for gourmets with over three hundred restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars.
Known as the bush capital, Canberra is home to many stunning nature parks. No matter where you are travelling in and around the city centre, there are trees, flowers and plants at every turn. It is filled with a beautiful array of colour and nature adding to the picturesque charm of this unique city.
There is a diverse range of parks and gardens to explore, both in the centre of the city and the outer suburban areas. The most significant is the Australian National Botanical Gardens which is filled with beautiful flora and native fauna all year round. With around 6,800 species of native Australian plants there are 40 hectares of lush grounds to enjoy. Amongst many other nature parks and gardens to visit are Cockington Green Gardens, Namadgi National Park, Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve and the Bible Gardens.
This beautiful city is a celebration of what Australians hold dear, their origins, sacrifices, treasures and values. There are many historical attractions to see including: the Aboriginal Embassy, Blundell’s Cottage, Duntroon House, Government House, the High Court of Australia, the National Library, the National Carillon, Old Parliament House, Parliament House and the Prime Minister’s Lodge.
There is an extensive calendar of festivals and events throughout the year including the Royal Canberra Show, Floriade, the Tuggeranong Festival and numerous sporting events.
The list of things to do is endless. The Australian Institute of Sport is fun and interactive, you can even test your fitness levels against Australia’s top olympians. The Deep Space Communication Complex is a must visit for those interested in astronomy and space missions. If your a train enthusiast, take a ride on the Michelago Tourist Railway which runs between Canberra and Royalla via Queanbeyan. See Australia’s most remarkable reptiles dwelling as they would in nature at the Australian Reptile Centre.
You can enjoy a leisurely browse around the two art galleries in Canberra. The National Gallery of Australia is the countries largest collection of Australian art and features an impressive sculpture garden around the gallery. The other gallery is the National Portrait Gallery which is a visual who’s who of some of Australia’s notable political figures and features other famous Australians.
Take a journey through the essence of Australia’s culture, history and way of life in Canberra’s national museums and galleries. The Australian Federal Police Museum displays the history of the Federal Police Force. Located near the Canberra Railway station, the Canberra Railway Museum has plenty of beautifully restored old and newer engines. The National Archives of Australia are available to those carrying out research or tracing family trees. At the National Dinosaur Museum there are over three hundred exhibits including ten full-size replica skeletons of dinosaurs.
The National Science and Technology Centre (Questacon) is a high technology science museum which is the ultimate in hands-on interactive displays. The National Capital Exhibition tells the story of Canberra from the start of Aboriginal times up until the present. National Film and Sound Archive is a collection of radio, television and film archives. The National Museum of Australia uses new technology to display themes both old and new. At the Royal Australian Mint you can see how money is produced and learn the history of the Australian currency.
There is something for everyone in Canberra.
