Contrary to popular belief, Canberra offers more than just politicians and bureaucrats. The city surrounds Lake Burley Griffin, a beautiful man-made lake. North of the river at Regatta Point is the Captain James Cook Memorial, constructed in 1970 to commemorate the Bicentenary of Cook's first sighting of the east coast of Australia.
For adventures off the beaten path, take off to Ginnindera Falls, whose beautiful gorges and walking trails allow you to savour the richness and beauty of Canberra's bushland. Close by are the pretty craft fairs and galleries of Ginninderra Village and the miniature English village of Cockington Green. Another site worth visiting is the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, home to Australian wildlife such as the emus, wallabies, kangaroos and koalas. Then journey back to the past at Gold Creek’s National Dinosaur Museum, housing various remains and fossils from the prehistoric era. Now, who says Canberra is boring? Book your hotel today
