Experience the local lifestyle in Canberra’s bold southern precinct, Kingston.

A perfectly preserved 1920s streetscape gives Canberra’s most populated residential neighbourhood an eye-catching edge. Look for the red-brick relics, which now host a tastebud-tingling collection of cafés, bars and restaurants. Hit the waterfront on the Kingston Foreshore, which reliably delivers great eats and a humming atmosphere year-round. Galleries, markets and handcrafted creations give Kingston an unmistakable community vibe. Explore Kingston’s boutiques and meet the makers first hand.
