CANBERRA.See it for yourselfDiscover Australia’s stories in the national capital, Canberra, a place where our national attractions and hidden gems deliver many unexpected delights.

Uncover the Australian story through Canberra’s famed national attractions which hold the story of our nation. See Phar Lap’s heart, a Holden Prototype No. 1 and follow the journey of our Indigenous people at the National Museum of Australia. Take a behind-the-scenes tour with an elite athlete at the Australian Institute of Sport and feel the courage of our Anzacs at the Australian War Memorial’s Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier.

See our country and people through the eyes of artists at the National Gallery of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery. Hear the stories and events that have shaped our distinctive democracy at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.

Delve further and you can get up close and personal with a cheetah at the National Zoo & Aquarium or be greeted by one of the many local winemakers and sample the fruits of their labour at the cellar door. This modern city offers fun for the kids and a busy calendar of events and festivals — like Floriade, Australia’s celebration of spring, where glorious spring blooms erupt in tune with bright blue skies. If it’s the great outdoors that you’re after then check out the purpose-built cycling facilities at Stromlo Forest Park or Canberra’s fantastic cycle path network. Take a self-guided walking tour of the National Arboretum Canberra to learn about the 94 forests of rare, endangered and symbolic trees from Australia and around the world. Discover nature and wildlife at Tidbinbilla or Namadgi National Park right on Canberra’s doorstep.

An array of stylish restaurants, bars and shops are close by, and for those more adventurous, Canberra’s scenic natural surrounds await you.

DINING | 5

DINING. Get a taste of CanberraThere’s a lot to love about Canberra’s food scene. Bistro-style cafés and quality quick eats blend perfectly with stylish restaurants and sleek high-end dining experiences.

Kingston, Manuka and nearby suburbs in the inner south have many fantastic cafés and restaurants, gourmet food stores and bakeries. In the heart of the city, Canberra Centre’s North Quarter dishes up some hot city eats. The NewActon dining precinct is one of the most exciting places to eat in the national capital while Dickson offers a small flourishing Chinatown and much more.

Many of Canberra’s best cocktail bars, clubs and pubs can be found around Garema Place and the nearby City Walk.

Indulge in midwinter celebrations with a delicious line-up of events and experiences. Celebrate the magic of truffles with cooking classes, truffle hunts, presentations and truffle-inspired menus during the Canberra & Capital Region Truffle Festival, from June to August. Throughout August, visit the venues holding special events as part of the Fireside Festival, an initiative of the Poachers Way group. One of the most popular events is Grazing of Gundaroo’s duck and pinot dinners. It’s all about curling up by a crackling fire, tasting the best winter cuisine, enjoying quality cool climate wine and immersing yourself in winter.

Many more eateries abound in Canberra. For the latest information on dining, visit outincanberra.com.au.
