Canberra is in an ideal location. Situated halfway between Sydney and Melbourne, it’s a two hour drive to the coast and two hours to the snowfields. As the Nation’s capital, it’s a sophisticated city where something is always happening:

 Floriade Flower Festival (September/October), the largest flower festival in the Southern Hemisphere
 Canberra Zombie Walk (October). Watch the Zombie hordes invade the CBD. For the fun of heart, dress up and join the undead.
 Multicultural Festival (February)
 Balloonfest (March). Watch the balloons fly in at dawn then join the festivities
 Open air cinema at the Botanic Gardens
 Bike and boat rental by Lake Burley Griffith
 National Museum and National Gallery
 Australian War Museum
 Questacon Science Museum
