ประวัติศาสตร์

แคนเบอร์ราก่อตั้งขึ้นเมื่อ ค.ศ. 1913 เป็นเมืองหลวงของประเทศออสเตรเลียที่รวมตัวจัดตั้งกันขึ้นมาใหม่จากดินแดนทั้งหลายในอาณัติของเครือจักรภพอังกฤษ การตั้งเมืองแคนเบอร์ทำให้การแข่งขันและความขัดแย้งระหว่างซิดนีย์และเมลเบิร์นสองเมืองเอกที่แย่งกันเป็นเมืองหลวงสิ้นสุดลง หลังจากที่เมลเบิร์นได้เป็นเมืองหลวงชั่วคราวมาถึง 12 ปี มณฑลนครหลวงออสเตรเลีย (The Australian Capital Territory) ได้ถูกแยกออกจากรัฐนิวเซาท์เวลส์และมอบให้อยู่ภายใต้การดูแลของรัฐบาลกลาง อย่างไรก็ดียังมีผู้วิพากษ์การสร้างเมืองใหม่นี้ว่า "ทำให้ทุ่งหญ้าเลี้ยงแกะที่ดีเสียเปล่า"

แคนเบอร์ราเป็นเมืองที่มีการวางแผนอย่างรอบคอบ ผังเมืองหลักถูกกำหนดโดยสถาปนิกชาวอเมริกัน Walter Burley Griffin ซึ่งให้สร้างเมืองริมฝั่งทะเลสาปที่สร้างขึ้น (ทะเลสาป Burley Griffin) ระยะแรกมีเพียงนักการเมืองและข้าราชการอาศัยอยู่เป็นหลัก ต้องใช้เวลาต่อมาอีกระยะหนึ่งเมืองจึงพัฒนาอัตลักษณ์และวัฒนธรรมของตนได้ การพัฒนาโครงสร้างพื้นฐานระดับชาติขนาดใหญ่อย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้เมืองนี้เป็นจุดหมายปลายทางที่น่าสนใจ

ภูมิศาสตร์

ทิวทัศน์ของใจกลางเมืองเมื่อมองจากภูเขา Ainslie

แคนเบอร์ราเป็นเมืองอกแตก มีทะเลสาป Burley Griffin และแม่น้ำแบ่งแยกตอนกลางของเมือง ศูนย์กลางการค้าและการซื้อขายอยู่ในบริเวณที่เรียกว่า "ซีวิค" (Civic) ทางตอนเหนือของทะเลสาป ส่วนสามเหลี่ยมรัฐสภาและสถานทูตอยู่ทางด้านใต้ของทะเลสาป สถาบันหลักของชาติก็ถูกแบ่งแยกเช่นกัน เช่น พิพิธภัณฑ์แห่งชาติและอนุสรณ์สถานสงครามออสเตรเลียอยู่ทางเหนือ ส่วนหอสมุดแห่งชาติและหอศิลป์แห่งชาติอยู่ทางด้านใต้

There are suburbs surrounding central Canberra, and also suburbs surrounding several outlying town centres. These town centres are, Belconnen and Gungahlin to the north, and Tuggeranong and Woden to the south. The ACT also has surrounding towns, such as Murrumbateman, which boasts a strong cool climate wine selection. The historic village of Hall is also on the outskirts of Canberra.

แคนเบอร์รามีประชากรราว 350,000 คน (400,000 คนหากนับรวมหัวเมือง Queanbeyan ของรัฐนิวเซาท์เวลส์ที่อยู่ติดกันและมีความใกล้ชิดกันมาก)

เวลา

มณฑลนครหลวงออสเตรเลียใช้เวลาตามรัฐนิวเซาท์เวลส์ซึ่งรายล้อมอยู่ โดยเร็วกว่า UTC 10 ชั่วโมง (UTC+10) และเร็วกว่า UTC 11 ชั่วโมง ในช่วงเวลาออมแสง (วันอาทิตย์แรกในเดือนตุลาคมถึงวันอาทิตย์แรกของเดือนเมษายน)

ผู้คน

คนจำนวนมากที่อาศัยอยู่ในแคนเบอร์รามิได้เป็นชาวแคนเบอร์ราโดยกำเนิด ส่วนใหญ่มาเพื่อศึกษาหรือทำงานกับรัฐบาล ซึ่งมักพบว่าคนเหล่านี้มาจากเมืองอื่นในออสเตรเลีย เข้ามาศึกษาหรือทำงานระยะหนึ่งแล้วก็ย้ายกลับไปเมืองเดิมหรือย้ายต่อไปที่อื่น ดังนั้นจึงมีผู้คนหน้าใหม่หลั่งไหลเข้ามาสู่แคนเบอร์ราตลอดเวลา คุณไม่ต้องกังวลหากคิดจะถามทางคนแคนเบอร์ราเพราะพวกเขาเคยชินกับคำถามเหล่านี้และมักยินดีจะช่วยเหลือ

โดยทั่วไป คนแคนเบอร์ราไม่มากพิธีรีตรอง เป็นมิตร และใจกว้าง รวมถึงเป็นผู้มีการศึกษาและรายได้สูงที่สุดในออสเตรเลีย

ในทางชาติพันธุ์ ประชากรของแคนเบอร์รามีความหลากหลายมากกว่าประชากรในส่วนอื่นของออสเตรเลีย แต่ยังไม่อาจเทียบได้กับความหลากหลายทางวัฒนธรรมและภาษาในเมืองใหญ่สองเมืองคือ ซิดนีย์และเมลเบิร์น

แคนเบอร์ราร้อนได้เช่นเดียวกับเมืองอื่นในทวีปออสเตรเลีย โดยพบอุณหภูมิสูงกว่า 30°C ได้บ่อยๆ ระหว่างเดือนธันวาคมถึงมีนาคม ทั้งยังมีอากาศหนาวจัดในช่วงหน้าหนาว (มิถุนายน-สิงหาคม)เพราะความสูงและที่ตั้งที่อยู่ใกล้กับ Snowy Mountains ในคืนหน้าหนาว อุณหูมิมักลดลงต่ำกว่า 0°C และกระโดดขึ้นเป็นกว่า 10°C ในช่วงเวลากลางวัน อย่างไรก็ดี หน้าหนาวนั้นจะหนาวแบบแห้ง ท้องฟ้าแจ่มใส ไม่ค่อยบ่อยนักที่จะหนาวแบบชื้น แทบจะไม่เคยมีหิมะตกเลยในแคนเบอร์ราเพราะว่าอากาศหนาวในยามกลางคืนมักเกิดขึ้นในช่วงที่ท้องฟ้าปลอดโปร่ง

แคนเบอร์ราชื้นน้อยกว่าเมืองใหญ่อื่นๆ ของออสเตรเลียที่ส่วนใหญ่ตั้งอยู่ชายทะเล ในวันที่อากาศร้อนจัด มักจะมีลมเย็นจากภูเขา พัดเอื่อยมาในช่วงบ่ายหรือเย็น ซึ่งช่วยให้อุณหภูมิลดลงในเวลากลางคืน

สนามบินนานาชาติแคนเบอร์รา (Canberra International Airport CBR^IATA), [5] มีเที่ยวบินเชื่อมโยงแคนเบอร์รากับเมืองอื่นๆ ในออสเตรเลีย แต่ปัจจุบันยังไม่มีเที่ยวบินระหว่างประเทศแม้จะเป็นสนามบินนานาชาติ

มีเที่ยวบินเกือบทุกชั่วโมงไปซิดนีย์ และมีเที่ยวบินหลายเที่ยวต่อวันไปเมลเบิร์น สำหรับเมืองอื่นอาจมีเพียงเที่ยวบินเช้าและเที่ยวบินบ่าย การบินระหว่างซิดนีย์และแคนเบอร์ราประหยัดเวลาเทียบกับการขับรถระหว่างเมืองทั้งสองเพียงประมาณหนึ่งชั่วโมงเท่านั้น

สายการบินเหล่านี้นี้บินเข้ามาที่แคนเบอร์ราทุกวัน

• Virgin Australia [6] มีเที่ยวบินไปกลับ Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne, และ Adelaide
• Qantas [7] มีเที่ยวบินไปกลับ Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide และ Perth.
• Brindabella Airlines [8] มีเที่ยวบินไปกลับ Newcastle.

ปัจจุบัน Jetstar และ Tiger Airways ไม่บริการเที่ยวบินที่สนามบินแคนเบอร์รา

ระยะเวลาการเดินทางคือ 50 นาทีสำหรับ Sydney 1 ชั่วโมงสำหรับ Melbourne 2 ชั่วโมงสำหรับ Brisbane และ Adelaide และ 4 ชั่วโมงสำหรับ Perth

อาคารผู้โดยสารของสนามบินแคนเบอร์ราเพิ่งจะปรับปรุงใหม่ มีที่รอรับกระเป๋าและที่รอเครื่องบินอยู่ในอาคารเดียวกัน และมี aerobridges สำหรับเครื่องบินเจ็ท โครงสร้างพื้นฐานเป็นเช่นเดียวกับสนามบินภูมิภาคโดยทั่วไป ที่มีขนาดใกล้เคียงกัน มีร้านอาหารหนึ่งร้านนอกจุดตรวจรักษาความปลอดภัย เมื่อผ่านจุดตรวจรักษาความปลอดภัยไปแล้วมีร้านอาหารอีกจำนวนหนึ่ง (แต่ไม่มีอาหารจานด่วน) มีร้านหนังสือหนึ่งร้าน ทั้ง Qantas และ Virgin มีห้องรับรองของตนเอง และมี Westpac ATM หนึ่งเครื่องในอาคารผู้โดยสารขาเข้า ถ้าคุณต้องใช้เวลาที่สนามบินแห่งนี้ ก็ควรหาหนังสือมาอ่าน

เนื่องจากไม่มีเที่ยวบินระหว่างประเทศมายังสนามบินแคนเบอร์ ผู้โดยสารระหว่างประเทศจะต้องเดินทางผ่านสนามบินนานาชาติอื่นๆ ในออสเตรเลีย เช่น Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Gold Coast/Brisbane, Darwin อย่างไรก็ดีที่สนามบินซิดนีย์การคุณไม่สามารถเดินเชื่อมต่อระหว่างสนามบินภายในประเทศและระหว่างประเทศได้ จะต้องนั่งรถซึ่งมีค่าใช้จ่ายเพิ่มเติม ถ้าสายการบินมิได้จัดหาให้

หากไม่บิน Greyhound และ Murrays มีรถทัวร์เชื่อระหว่างสนามบินแคนเบอร์ราและสนามบินซิดนีย์ ใช้เวลาราว 3.5 ชั่วโมง

The Countrylink Xplorer at Sydney before leaving for Canberra via the Southern Highlands and the scenic Molonglo Gorge

NSW Countrylink [14] runs services from Sydney to Canberra twice a day. The trip takes just over 4 hours, which is slower than a bus or driving, but the train takes a very scenic route through the Southern Highlands and the Molongolo Gorge, compared to an unexciting freeway journey by road. The train arrives in Kingston on the south side of Canberra, a pleasant 25-30 minute walk from the closest of the attractions on the south side of Lake Burley Griffin. To get to Civic (the Canberra CBD) on the northern side of the lake, however, will require further transport, ACTION buses service the station to Civic every 15 minutes on weekdays (routes 200 and 80) and less frequently on weekends (route 980). Cash fares on ACTION bus services cost $4, but substantial discounts are available to holders of MyWay cards. Taxis meet each train arrival. On some days it is possible to do a day trip by train from Sydney and get 5–6 hours to spend in Canberra. Bicycles must be boxed and checked as luggage on CountryLink services and cost $12.10 per bicycle, and there is room for only three on any train.

The economy train fare is $56 in peak season (the Christmas/New Year period and school holidays) and $40 in off-peak, discounts may be available depending on the day or for advance purchase.

If you are enthusiastic about train travel, are desperate to save money, and you are travelling from Sydney and wish to see Goulburn on the way; the Cityrail train to Goulburn costs $7.80, and the Countrylink train from Goulburn to Canberra costs as little as $11.

Countrylink also runs a once-daily train/bus between Melbourne and Canberra: the bus runs from the centre of Canberra (City Bus Interchange) via the Barton Highway, Burley Griffin Way and the Olympic Highway to the town of Cootamundra, where travellers switch to the XPT (Countrylink Train) to Melbourne's Southern Cross Station; tickets cost $91 in off-peak and $107 in peak season.

V/Line runs a competing train/bus service (Canberra Link) between Melbourne and Canberra daily. Coaches depart from the Jolimont Centre coach terminal (across the road from the City Bus Interchange). Services run relatively directly via the Barton and Hume Highways and change for the train at Albury. Tickets cost $46.

V/Line also run a Canberra service to connect with their Melbourne train at Bairnsdale. This service is called Capital Link. Services run twice a week (three times a week during Victorian school holidays). At Bairnsdale a road coach will take you via Orbost, Cann River and Cooma to Canberra, with stops at Canberra Railway Station (Kingston) and the Jolimont Centre (across the road from the City Bus Interchange). Tickets on this service also cost $46.

Murrays [15], โทร 132251, Murrays operate up to 10 daily express services between Sydney (Central Station) and Canberra with extra services on peak days. They are the main operator on this route. Service takes just over 3 h. They always have $15 fares available on the web, for the early or late services and $18 for some others. Popular services or last-minute booking is around $35. The service is non-stop (with some services via Sydney International Airport). Murrays also run a daily service from Canberra to Wollongong and Canberra to Narooma. The coaches are more cramped than the trains. Seats are unassigned, so it helps to be there early and not to have luggage to go under the bus, as that lets you get on first and secure your window seat. Buses often fill to capacity, and can experience delays due to peak traffic into and out of Sydney, although the non-stop nature means that they have been known to run 10–15 minutes early on a good run.

Greyhound Pioneer [16], โทร 131499, operate a bus service competing with Murray's. Fares seem to be either $15 or $36, so you might get lucky and get a cheap ride. Note that it may not be possible to get the $15 fares when booking a return journey; if so, you probably need to book each leg separately. They also offer a direct service to Melbourne. Greyhound's coach services usually include video entertainment. The Greyhound services have stops which make the service slower than Murrays'.

NSW Countrylink also run daily buses to and from Eden on the South Coast, via Bega and Cooma.

V/Line [17], โทร 136196. V/Line have two services which connect Canberra to Melbourne. The fastest option is a bus from Canberra to Seymour with a connecting train to Melbourne. This takes around 8 hours. The more scenic option is to travel to Melbourne via Cooma, Sale and Bairnsdale. Likewise, this service connects with a train at Bairnsdale allowing you to continue your journey southwest towards Melbourne.

โดยรถยนต์

The drive from Sydney to Canberra is 290 km and takes around three and a half hours from the Sydney CBD, less from outer suburbs in Sydney. The road is dual-carriageway, freeway-like conditions from the Harbour Bridge all the way to Canberra, mostly with a 110 km/h speed limit, via the M5 Motorway, Hume and Federal Highways. There are three sets of on-road services located on the Hume Highway between Sydney and the turn-off to the Federal Highway to Canberra, as well as many well-maintained and often scenic rest stops with toilets and picnic tables ideal for a picnic. Take drinks, as the rest areas have no water, or tank water which is not recommended for drinking. A third option which will enable you to see more of the countryside is to stop at one of the small towns in the Southern Highlands on the way, all of which boast many cafes and restaurants.

It is rare to make the entire trip between Canberra and Sydney without at least one police speed trap. The city of Goulburn, on the way to Canberra, is the training centre for New South Wales police officers and often send new recruits to run speed checks on the freeway. There are also several fixed speed traps, all of which are signposted in advance.

The drive from Melbourne to Canberra is 650 km and takes roughly eight hours on the Hume and Barton Highways, again mostly on dual-carriageway roads.

รถบัสวงกลมหนึ่งศตวรรษ

Throughout 2013, a free shuttle bus service (Centenary Loop) runs daily between 9 am and 4:30 pm, every 30 minutes. It travels clockwise around the Parliamentary Triangle, reaching several major attractions [18].

รถบัส ACTION

ACTION buses [19] cover the majority of Canberra[20], with reduced services on weekends/public holidays[[21].

ACTION buses are Canberra's only form of public transport

Fares are $4.20 for adults and $2.10 for concessions (have your student or concession card ready to show the driver. For international students, it's always good to have an ISIC Card because many drivers—although not strictly supposed to—will accept these). An all day ticket costs $8 for adults and $4 for concessions.

If spending more than $20 on tickets, consider purchasing a MyWay stored value card[22], which is more convenient, and offers discounts on travel. Value can be added onto the card[23], but there are no refunds. Apply for concession fares at a MyWay agent[24]. e.g. ANU students need to do so at the ANU Union annually.

The inter-town routes (the Blue Rapid and Red Rapid) are frequent, reliable, have fewer stops and travel quickly between interchanges. They also can be crowded during peak times. The Blue Rapid is referred to as the 300 series[25] and includes 300, 312, 313, 314, 315, 318 or 319. On weekends, it runs as the 900 series, on a different time table. The Red Rapid is Route 200.[26]

Other services are less frequent, even less-so during off-peak and weekends. Some meander slowly through suburbs. Check routes and timetables carefully on the ACTION website.

During weekends, there is easy parking at Woden, Belconnen and Tuggeranong car parks, which makes the Blue Rapid a good alternative to parking in Civic. During weekdays, a Park and Ride permit[27] is required. ACTION often provides free one-off services from city centres to major events e.g. between Belconnen/Woden etc to show days, Skyfire, sporting events, Floriade or the Arboretum. These are announced on the ACTION website and through social media.

Bicycle cages along the inter-town routes can be used without additional charge. However, they are only available to registered MyWay card users, who have further applied for access to individual cages[28].

Users can plan ACTION bus trips on Google Maps. In addition, various smartphone apps display the same data in different formats. e.g. TransitTimes+[29].

Tips for riding the buses:

• The rear doors only open at bus interchanges and busy bus stops.
• If you need to change buses to get somewhere, ask for a transfer ticket; it'll let you on to as many buses as you need within 90 minutes of getting on the first bus.
• Tell the driver where you need to get to (and how quickly if that's important) and ask them what your options are. Some buses snake through the suburbs and can take a while to cover a relatively short distance while others may be more direct or express services.
• Buses do not operate between midnight and 5AM, and after 7PM on Sundays and public holidays. There is however a 'flexibus' or 'nightrider' system with certain routes running at these times—for a flat fare of $10—that operates on weekends in early summer, but not throughout the year.
• Many buses (including inter-town routes) have a bicycle rack attached in front.
• If using a MyWay card, remember to tag off before alighting.

โดยจักรยาน

A bike path near Lake Tuggeranong

Bicycles are a practical way to get around Canberra while visiting, and will get you to most attractions using a well developed network of off-road cycle paths. Visitors can rent bicycles from several businesses, including Row 'n' Ride and Mr Spokes. There are also several bicycle shops along Lonsdale Street just north of Civic.

Canberra also has generally well developed on-road cycle facilities but the on-road cycle lanes sometimes end and start in utterly inexplicable places.

The attractions around the lake are accessible on fairly flat paths, and hilly segments are short. Attractions which involve “mountains” e.g. Mount Ainslie, Black Mountain, the Arboretum or the Stromlo Observatory will obviously have steep access. However, travel from the Civic towards Belconnen or Canberra University is mainly uphill. Pedal Power [30] has a list of commuter and other routes. Bicycles are permitted on footpaths in the ACT (except when passing shops during trading hours).

There are bike racks to lock your bike up at most shopping centres and points of interest. Bike helmets are compulsory.

Most ACTION buses have front bike racks which can carry 2 bicycles at no additional cost. The bike racks have clips, so no additional equipment is necessary. Only 20" tyres or larger bikes are carried. Kids must be accompanied by adults, and child seats and other accessories must be removed from the bike.

A new bicycle map is available online[31]. Openstreetmap shows cycle paths and water fountains[32]. Some books which feature local rides are Cycling Around Canberra by Bruce Ashley, and Where To Ride Canberra by Bicycling Australia.

Town Centre? Drivers are often confused by the many signs around Canberra that direct you to the "Town Centre". The unanswered question that the sign poses, is "Which Town?". The city centre, also known as "Civic", is its own centre, but the other Canberra "towns" are Belconnen and Gungahlin (to the north of the lake), and Woden, Weston Creek and Tuggeranong (to the south). Each of these towns has its own suburbs. You will see signs directing you to each of these towns, but once you get closer the sign will simply direct you to the "town centre". You need to know which town you are in for the sign to make sense.

The major car rental agencies have offices in Civic and at the airport.

Canberra roads are generally of excellent quality and relatively uncongested.

Most of the major attractions provide free parking. During working hours high demand, from both visitors and employees, can see parking spaces very limited in the Parliamentary Triangle (which contains the National Library, Questacon, Old Parliament House, National Gallery, Commonwealth Place etc).

The default speed limit on all roads in the ACT is 50 km/h, unless signposted otherwise. Major roads in the ACT have speed limits between 60 and 100 km/h. Occasionally, the same road has a different speed limit for traffic heading in opposite directions. The ACT also has the highest number of speed cameras per capita in Australia. Fixed speed cameras have warning signs in advance via overt signage; red light/speed cameras have much smaller warning signs, usually not coupled with a sign reminding of the speed limit. Mobile speed camera vans operate in the ACT (typically, but not always, on major roads); these may be overtly or covertly parked, and are identified by a large white sign on the roof.

40 km/h school zones are active throughout the school day (unlike surrounding New South Wales where they only operate for an hour or two at the beginning and end of the school day). School zones are rigorously policed.

The main shopping and commercial area of Canberra is known as Civic, but you will never see a signpost to Civic. It is signposted as "City".

Take change for parking meters in Civic if you want to park on the streets, or in the government parking lots. Parking in the town centres is difficult on weekdays. It is also difficult to park at night in Civic. There are several multi-level carparks near the Canberra Centre with ticket pay-stations and pay-booths. Note that all day parking in the Canberra Centre is cheaper on the rooftop level. You will need to collect a parking entry ticket from the first boom gate and then feed the ticket into the second boom gate as you enter the rooftop level.

Petrol/fuel. There are few fuel stations on the main roads; instead they tend to be located near local shops, off the main roads. Look for the small blue fuel pump signs pointing off the main roads. Start looking well before you run too low. There are several petrol stations just east of Northbourne Avenue at Civic. Petrol is also more expensive in Canberra than Sydney.

It also has some interesting water dragons that live in the water features around the gardens. A delightful place for a picnic, try to grab some food from the city centre first to take with you for lunch. If you are there during summer, call and ask about the jazz evenings. These are held on the weekend and many families attend with evening picnic and champagne in tow, to chill out to the sounds of jazz in the balmy evening temperatures. Entry is free, however parking is $1.40/hr or $7 all day at ticket machines, with proceeds going towards the gardens.

• Old Parliament House (featuring the Museum of Australian Democracy), King George Terrace, Parkes ph +61 2 6270-8222, fax +61 2 6270-8111, [44] [45]. The headquarters of Australian government from the 1920s to 1988, this building is a must for political and/or historical junkies. The building gives a real feel of what it was like when it was in use and has in the past regularly featured rotating exhibitions on the controversies and scandals that rocked Australian politics. It is now a permanent museum. Most of the main rooms - the Prime Minister's office, the Cabinet Room, the various party rooms, the two houses - are open to visitors, as are many smaller rooms like the whips' offices and the broadcasting area. There are also historical photos of Canberra as it used to be, including the times prior to the creation of the artificial lake that show Canberra under snow during winter (the lake warmed up the city and snow falls rarely on the city now). The gift store has decent souvenirs. Parking is free, admission is A$2 for adults, A$1 concession. Allow 2–3 hours.
• Parliament House of Australia, Capital Hill, ph +61 2 6277-5399 or +61 2 6277-2727 (for recorded information), [46]. The seat of Australia's federal government and legislature and a remarkable piece of modern architecture. Outside, the forecourt faces Federation Mall and has iconic views. Much of the inside is open to the public during business hours (your bags are x-rayed and persons pass through a metal detector at the entrance). When inside the building, do not miss: Queens Terrace towards the forecourt, and the roof (via an elevator close to walkway to the House of Representatives). Various art, including portraits of past prime ministers are hung in the hallways. Enthusiastic guides perform free tours daily at 10am, 1pm and 3pm 7 days a week (no booking required)[47]. Tours are shorter when Parliament is sitting as the chambers are occupied. However, on those days you are allowed to view proceedings in the public gallery from 2pm onwards[48]. Your items will be cloaked, and a secondary security check is required. No further arrangement is needed to sit in the Senate chamber public gallery. To view Question Time from the House of Representatives galleries, preferably book your free seat, by calling the Searjent at arms on 62774889 before 12:30pm. Expect queues to collect tickets, during the secondary checks, and then while waiting for sessions to begin. As your belongings, including electronic items will be cloaked, consider bringing a small book to read while waiting. Members of the public can also observe hearings conducted by the parliament's various committees. Allow 2–3 hours. On-site parking can be limited when parliament is sitting. Back outside, the Bali Memorial Gardens are east of the main building. There are walking tracks both east and west of Parliament House in cool shade, and another shady walking track along the base of Capital Hill. Find this track midway down the access road to Kings Avenue, on the right side, and proceed clockwise. If in Canberra when Floriade is held, there are additional tours of the Parliament House gardens.

• Embassies. As the national capital, Canberra hosts the embassies of most countries, listed below in Embassies. Most of the embassies are built in an architectural style typical of that particular country. In Yarralumla (the closest embassy district to the city), the Embassy of China, Embassy of Papua New Guinea and, The Royal Thai Embassy are particularly worth a look. The Embassy of the United States of America is also worth a drive past, being the oldest embassy in Canberra. It is best to have a car or bicycle for touring so you can stop and have a look around.

Well worth a visit, day or night, for the fantastic views - look for the cork tree plantation and Parliament House. It has a revolving restaurant and telecommunications history display. Above the restaurant there is a two level viewing platform: the bottom level is indoor and has a souvenir shop and refreshments; the upper level is an open air area. Its a nice view, but the mountain is already already 260m above the lake, and the viewing platform is only another 60m above the mountain. You can decide if that is worth the price of admission.</see>
• Other Lookouts - Canberra is surrounded by hills and there are plenty of other great vantage points to view the city. Many of these you can also drive to the top. The best vantage points are:
  • Mount Ainslie (off Fairbairn Avenue, Campbell/Forrest) - vehicular access available
  • Red Hill (off Melbourne Avenue, Deakin/Forrest) - vehicular access available
  • Mount Majura (access via Antill St in Watson, also service road off Majura Road) - no vehicular access, walking tracks only.
  • Mount Taylor (access via Waldock St, Chifley) - partial vehicular access; to reach the top you will need to walk.
  • Mount Pleasant (via General Bridges Drive, Duntroon) - vehicular access available between 7AM and 7PM.
• Kangaroos in the wild Kangaroos are common throughout Canberra's nature reserves, and often venture into the suburbs. They occasionally penetrate into Civic, and hop down Northborne Avenue from time to time. Good spots to see kangaroos include the Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve near Civic, the Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve between Woden and Tuggeranong and the Pinnacle Nature Reserve near Hawker.

Plans to revivalise the buildings are regularly proposed, but never go far.

งานเทศกาล

Canberra Floriade occurs during the Australian spring

• Floriade [50] festival of flowers, a yearly event held in spring (September–October), not to be missed.

There are also sculptures, garden stalls, makeshift restaurants, activities, live music by local performers and sometimes there is even a gnome or scarecrow festival where children (and some adults) paint gnomes or make scarecrows and enter a competition to choose the best. Great for a photo opportunity!
• Summernats [51] is a festival of modified cars, car cruising, burnouts, etc., which takes place first thing in the new year. If you are not into this culture, this is a good time not to be in Canberra, as even the most civilised hotels are overtaken by drunken 'nats'.

Bimberi wilderness, Namadgi National Park, southern ACT

The majority of the Australian Capital Territory is actually not Canberra city and there is a large area of national park. While most people don't spend any time outside of the city there is plenty to do if you want to get away from the museums and attractions for a while.

• <see name="Tharwa Village" directions="via Tharwa Drive, accessible from the Monaro Highway south of Canberra or at the end of the Tuggeranong Parkway"> A small village, one of the original settlements in the ACT area.

Lake Burley Griffin

• Explore Lake Burley Griffin - on or off the water. You can:
  • Hire a paddle boat, canoe or kayak and mess around on Lake Burley Griffin. Hire is available from:

  • Alternatively, take a scenic cruise on the lake with Lake Burley Griffin Cruises [57]. Phone 0419 418 846.
  • If you're up for some exercise, you can walk, run, cycle or skate around Lake Burley Griffin. A shared path runs along the edge (the eastern edge at Kingston is interrupted), and the 2 bridges intersect it into 3 “loops”. The Western Loop is 16 km, the Central Loop (“bridge to bridge”) is 3.7 km, and the Eastern Loop is 9 km; visitors can travel along each, or combine them as fitness or time permits. Each segment has its own highlights. The entire circumference is approximately 25 km. Hire is available from:

    • Segways can be rented close to the lake at Parkes Place. [59]
• Ride Canberra's Mountain Bike Trails: There are several locations around Canberra to ride mountain bicycles, many of which are considered some of the best in Australia. See Canberra Off Road Cyclists (CORC [60]) for locations. Canberra is also home to the largest 24 hour Mountain Bike Race in the world (Scott 24hr [61]), held in early October each year.
• Go bush walking: Befitting the term “Bush Capital”, the “bush” is frequently very close to housing areas. e.g. in non-winter months, it’s not uncommon to see families walk through the local nature parks after dinner time. Or for locals to climb up a hill after work before heading home. One of the most popular with visitors is the walk to the lookout atop Mount Ainslie. Others include Cooleman Ridge, Mount Taylor, Oakey Hill, The Pinnacle, Red Hill etc. Territory & Municipal Services lists some sites[62]. Otherwise, CANwalk[63] and ACT Walking for Pleasure have maps, and schedules each week[64].
• Helpfully between Civic and the War Memorial, walk through the Heritage-listed suburb of Reid[65]. Observe the houses with leafy surrounds, the wide roads, little walking paths and recreation areas, in one of the oldest untouched Canberran suburbs. As (some) locals would say: “as Burley Griffin intended”.
• Geocaching: Canberra has an incredibly active Geocaching community.[66]
• Explore Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve [67] is about a 40 minute drive south of Canberra via Tuggeranong Parkway and Tharwa Drive. You can take Ranger-guided walks or have fun with the hands on displays such as the interactive computer program on Tidbinbilla's bird species and look at the live animal displays. The gift shop sells an interesting range of clothes, toys, books, cards and souvenirs. Coffee and light refreshments are also available.

• See the stars and planets at Mount Stromlo Observatory [68], Cotter road, Weston Creek. ph +61 2 6125-0230. Mount Stromlo is Australia's premier astronomical observatory. Badly damaged in 2003 bushfires, the partially rebuilt observatory reopened in October 2004. They run a Saturday night star gazing event for the public, call +61 2 6125-0232. The site's damaged buildings and equipment remain and may be fascinating for tourists.
• Go wine tasting in the Wineries around Canberra (most are outside of the ACT but all very close to Canberra). They are described as cool climate wines and some are very well known and regarded. Try Jeir Creek, Gallagher, Clonakilla and Lark Hill, just to name a few. There are '33 wineries within 35 minutes of Canberra'. Visit the Canberra Wineries website for more information [69].
• Take a scenic drive into the southern ACT - recommended by locals:
  • Head south to Tharwa, and then take the road to Adaminaby. Take the signed road to Honey Suckle Creek. Very important historical site, this is where the signals from the Apollo 11 space landing were received, and then beamed around the world. Also a nice drive, and a very good camp ground.
  • On the same road, not far off the Adaminaby Road is a walking (Fire ranger) trail to the top of Mount Tennant. About a 5 hour round hike, but worth every step. Go back onto the Adaminaby road, and head south. Another site of a space centre on the right down the road, worth a look, but not as interesting
  • Remaining on the road for another ten kilometers, entering the Namadgi National park, and two hundred meters after a single lane bridge is a signed turn off to Yankee's Hat. This is a four km drive, any car can take it, and look for Kangaroos. Hundreds either side of the road. The walk to Yankee's hat will take you to see aboriginal art.
  • Road to Adaminaby. If you have a robust vehicle, take the road south. The country is magnificent. It takes about an hour from Yankee's hat.
• <do name="Visit the National Zoo and Aquarium" alt="" address="999 Lady Denman Drive, Weston Creek ACT 2611." directions="Take Parkes way and follow directions" phone="(02) 62878400" url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130319110344/http://www.nationalzoo.com.au/index.htm" hours="" price="" lat="" long="">This privately owned zoo and aquarium offers the standard service plus special tours that allow interaction with the animals.

Bed and Breakfast

• There are a number of Bed and Breakfast places just off Northbourne Avenue, in Canberra's inner north. These tend to be mid-range, cost-wise, but are comfortable and refreshing if you are looking for a 'home away from home'.

Serviced apartments

Serviced, short-term apartments are widely available throughout Canberra and are available for stays as short as one night. Amenities typically include kitchen, washer and dryer, and separate bedrooms. A full range of properties exist from budget to 5 star.

ระแวดระวังภัย

แคนเบอร์ราเป็นเมืองที่ปลอยภัยและมีอัตราการเกิดอาชญากรรมน้อยมาก อย่างไรก็ดี นักท่องเที่ยวต้องใช้ความระมัดระวังตามสมควร โดยเฉพาะในบริเวณป้ายรถเมล์ใหญ่ เยาวชนบางคนอาจมีพฤติกรรมก้าวร้าว

แม้จะเป็นเมืองที่มั่งคั่ง ก็ยังมีคนที่อยู่อย่าง 'ลำบาก' โดยเฉพาะในบริเวณ Civic ไม่แปลกเลยที่คุณอาจพบคนขอเงิน มีกิจกรรมที่ดำเนินการวางแผนอย่างดีเพื่อทำเป้าจากทั้งคนท้องถิ่นและผู้มาเยือน อย่างไรก็ดี หากคุณแค่บอกว่าไม่มีเงิน ขอทาน (ไม่ว่าตัวจริงหรือตัวปลอม) ก็มักจะละความสนใจไปจากคุณและไปหาคนใหม่ต่อไป

ไม่มีที่เก็บของสาธารณะ หากคุณต้องการเก็บสัมภาระ จงฝากไว้กับเพื่อนหรือจองห้องพัก

Once you leave Civic, Canberra is fairly spread out. For much of the year, evenings can become cold and windy fairly quickly. Don’t count on adequate lighting even in otherwise popular or marked footways/cycleways. Similarly, when traveling on such routes in between city centres, or when in the bush, it is possible not to see any one else for an entire journey. Ensure your mobile phone is charged, have a map and appropriate clothing. On hot days, carry water. For bicycle riders, having the means to fix a puncture, and having proper lights is particularly necessary in Canberra.

Do not swim in the lakes (including Lake Burley Griffin) until you check online, as the water quality frequently makes it unsafe.

Death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides) is common in many Canberra suburbs, and ingestion of a single one can cause death[99].

Unlike other cities which have small, specified off-leash parks for dogs, most recreation grounds in Canberran suburbs are off-leash areas and have no signs. These include grounds through which cycleways pass. Check the maps of areas that you are visiting.[100]
