Destination: Canberra
Half of the ACT is national park and Canberra is built around a large, central lake lined with cycleways.
An active and outdoors lifestyle comes easily here. Canberra's unique ‘satellite’ suburbs have their own retail, restaurant and service hubs, and personalities of their own. No matter where you stay in Canberra, it’s easy to find your way to nature. The undeveloped hill-top ridges and nature reserves woven through the city and its suburbs are popular with Canberrans, and their dogs, for after-work hikes and watching the sun set over the Brindabella mountains.And that stillness contrasts with the liveliness of Canberra’s food and entertainment scenes, its rich arts communities and festivals, and future-focused business, tech, innovation and education sectors.
