Canberra National Attractions

Australia's national capital, Canberra, is only three hours from Sydney and is located in the Australian Capital Territory. Australia is very proud of its achievements and a tour of Canberra's national attractions will show why.

Parliament House and the Old Parliament House are well worth visiting and are usually first on most visitors' lists. If you are interested in sport, you might like to pay a visit to the Australian Institute of Sport.

For some amazing glimpses into Australia's past, visit the Australian War Memorial, National Archives, the art galleries, museums, and the National Gallery of Australia, as well as the National Film and Sound Archives. Immerse yourself in the array of talent on display at the gallery; the rich history of the museums; and the excitement of 100 years of film, television, radio and sound in Australia.

Australia has packed a lot into a short space of time and these national attractions give you a chance to experience it all. Take a look ahead at what Australians are achieving today by visiting the National Science and Technology Centre, known as Questacon. This is a great place to take the kids, with 200 exhibits and many fun ways to experience and understand science and technology.

In fact, Canberra is filled with places to take the kids that adults will love too. The National Dinosaur Museum will amaze, as well as the National Zoo, and the National Aquarium and Wildlife Sanctuary. The Canberra Space Dome and Observatory has multimedia shows and powerful telescopes to help you lose yourself in the stars.
