Sightseeing
Some of my favourite places in Canberra
Canberra is the 'bush capital' and just outside the city this nature reserve is great. You can see koalas, emus, even platypus if you're lucky

My pick of all the national cultural institutions: beautiful building, accessible art, interesting and often quirky exhibitions. A good way to get to know Australian people.

Woden town centre is a 15-minute walk and on the way you'll pass a bus stop where you can catch an express bus to Civic / Gunghalin or Woden / Tuggeranong
