The grassy rise of Capital Hill is Canberra’s crowning feature. The perfectly circular hilltop locale is the core from which the rest of the city radiates.

Its grand boundary road encloses Canberra’s primary piece of architecture: Parliament House. Inside, Australia’s politicians discuss the daily debate. Take a walk around Capital Hill’s tree-lined lawns and experience the different faces of this intricately designed city. To the west, a little patch of remnant bushland provides a peephole into the past.

Best experience! Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again. Only downside was people a few rooms away thinking it’s okay to let their kids have a meltdown in the hallway at 7.30am when you’re on holidays!

One of the best quiet hotels, great rooms and the longue and library parts of the hotel are wonderful spaces to chill and work, if the rooms are too cramp for you. Cosy rooms and comfortable beds make this a wonderful place to stay.

Everyone's read about Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book, Black swan, right?
Well only few have seen one!
Beautiful sunset on Canberra's lake. Nos that much visited by tourists, canberra is well worth it. it was a planned city, build from nothing at the beginning of the century. It is a cyclist paradise, with beautiful cycling lane away from traffic. Cycling round the lake can be a great weekend idea. Jogging or hiking round it can be a fantastic objective too. a bit of an oldy picture so sorry for the pixels!
