Another really well designed Australian war memorial, where the modern expansion nicely complements the historical landmarks. Driving into the memorial seems a bit drab, but upon entry, it is much more pleasant. Enjoyed the views of Goulburn from the tower, makes for a nice detour en route to Canberra. Entry is free, but donations are welcomed.

A very well laid out park. Nice war memorials, beautiful old growth shade trees and great play equipment for the kids.

Whoever design and build the structure deserves Bog Praise. The Big Merino looks so real & majestic and it’s definitely worth a detour from the main highway to see it. It houses a souvenir shop and a free museum, it’s nice to be able to walk in that Giant.

Based on a friend’s recommendation, we visited this amazing gallery and retail space—and it did not disappoint. The furniture and wood crafts are stunning, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and unique wood specimens that I’ve never encountered anywhere else. It’s no surprise this gallery is ranked among the top 20 wood galleries in the world!

The food was spectacular. The handmade pumpkin and goats cheese arancini were delicious. The fish tacos were light, fresh and divine. The lamb pita was succulent and were a perfect mate for the rose. A top meal and excellent service!

Had a stopover otw back to Sydney. It’s a beautiful vineyard. We had lunch with a glass of wine and a coffee. Price is reasonable. Even weekdays, the vineyard did attract quiet visitors. The outdoor setting is relaxing. We really enjoyed the scenery and the wine here. I’d recommend this place for a stopover near Canberra or if you’re a wine enthusiast perhaps some tastings.

Went on the first week of September. Weather was nice. Completed the 3.4 km loop. Trail was mostly through the woods. Moderate difficulty. Didn't come across any snakes. Spotted few Kangaroos on the top. The summit got a nice view of the whole Canberra city. Worth the walk. Ample parking.

This is an informative, peaceful, and contemplative place. You can learn more about the two world wars, view actual equipment used during the wars, and read about the bravery of the soldiers. Most of the areas are low-sensory, and ample seating is available in the main hall. You'll have to go through a simple bag check before entering—no full body scanners are used here. Will try to visit again when the rest of the galleries are completed.

Wonderful. Open spaces , quiet and good for all, singles ,couples, groups and older children. Maybe leave the tiny tots home ( purely for your own sanity). There are many exhibitions that are only bordered by white ground lines which indicate staying out of that area. There were enough adults who were chastised by security, asking them to please move out of the area, tiny tots wouldn't be able to help themselves 😀 Great bathrooms, disability friendly. Easy access for all ability levels. A good space for those who may be sensory challenged as it was a relatively quiet space. Nice indoor cafe downstairs. Not a huge array of food,. however what was there was tasty and reasonably cost effective. All in all a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon.

This place is exhilarating. The amount of science projects in here is amazing. I visited with my husband and our sons 1,2 and 17 year-old. They all found something they were excited about and we spent at least three hours in this place. We even got to sit in and watch the Japanese exhibit show. I do not recommend for the ages of my children but definitely for children age between 7 and 12. Definitely visit again next winter holidays.

Visited Canberra how come we can miss this place. Had a wonderful experience of visiting parliament house and being a migrant it's very important to indulge in the history and observe the political culture so whats better then can be of visiting parliament house. Had the opportunity to watch a documentary which showed the efforts it was made to construct this amazing structure. Viewing role of various women being able to served on a higher level was very good and brief history about each elected prime minister was very knowledgeable. Saw a rare script of a constitution and how it was preserved was exceptional. Had also opportunity to visit rooftop where you can have amazing views. My kids aged 12 and 9 enjoyed a lot so overall we had a wonderful experience You can also sit in between as there are seats available in corridors. Toilets can be cleaner and parking should be more visible for the visitors.

Located at Lawson Crescent, Acton, ACT, Australia 🇦🇺 This museum is a MUST when visiting the ACT. It’s free entry and we also saw the Mr Squiggle and Friends exhibition which is also Free 🆓 entry. The Mr Squiggle exhibition was fantastic, brought back so many memories from watching the show when I was a child. The rest of the exhibits in the Gallery section was just as wonderful. The range of subjects is so vast and rich in Australian history. The Landmarks section was especially interesting. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting this museum. A BIG Thumbs Up! 👍👍👍

Great spot to wind down and relax with a hot chocolate or coffee. The service was quick and friendly. There is a lot of outdoor seating and a large grass area for kids to run around whilst the adults soak in the beautiful scenery. The chocolates were delicious! Highly recommended!

Went to the Yarralumla beach on a Sunday morning. It was lovely and serene. There was a coffee cart setting up (The Pink Raddish), saw someone doing SUP. Well barriered area for little kids swimming and platform for swimmers who might have to fight off some wildlife to get onto the platform.

It is a great place to enjoy wine yard lunch without paying expensive bill. There is simple cheese platers and tasty wood fire pizza. I think it is more suitable for our group than the quiet romantic wine yard (different target dining experience) glad to have the lunch here and enjoy our relaxing lunch! However, I do agree the waitress is less knowledgeable on the wines. They could have introduced more when delivering the wine tasting.

Rolled through town on our Australian adventure and we had a great chat with the woman working the information center. We shared great conversation, bought some wine, and continued on our road trip. Overall it was a great experience 🥰🥰

Great place for afternoon tea or lunch. I enjoy sitting at the tables in the garden. My wife loves looking around at the gift shop. The owner is a good bloke and we enjoy having a chat with him.

Rachel took myself and three kids through the cave system. Much bigger than I was expecting, Alot of rooms and awesome formations. She was a fantastic guide and really engaged with the kids questions and interest. Loved it You need tickets, can buy there. There is also great picnic spots and bathrooms on site. Beautiful drive to get there from Canberra.

Beautiful place with loads of variety of farm grown honey. The owner is a beekeeper and does all the hard work to produce the honey. There is a honey testing facility available inside the shop. Owner is lovely.

Recently went there over the Easter break and can definitely say this is a must stop point if going through Young. Beautiful grass area's with tables and BBQ's for picnic lunches with toilets located on site at the carpark. Kids can play on the grass area's, go fishing or feed the ducks and swans. The Tribute Garden itself is beautiful. Nice big pond in the middle with small waterfall and rock feature's + the Bronze Horse in the middle. Following the track around you have a beautiful area to sit and take photos, and information to read. The grounds a well maintained. The whole family loved the outing!

I LOVE THIS SHOP!!!! The staff are so friendly and helpful - and the lollies, fudge, gifts and homewares are extensive and reasonably priced!!

An amazing Visitor's Centre. Excellent indigenous artefacts and a history of the restoration of the area after the 2019/20 bushfires. They also sell the best brooms from the Tumut Broom Factory which is across the road but unfortunately closed when we were in Tumut (long weekend).

A must-see ! Great story! Walk around the park and read the signs. Take in the beautiful trees and surrounds. Try not to look at the rubbish on the ground. I wonder if the restoration will happen soon? Looked through the shop. Offers light food and drinks.

A worthwhile stop on the road. Take your time and inspect the old fashioned railway architecture. Even though the bridge was destroyed in a flood, it is still in marvelous shape and gives you an impression about what once was leading technology. Unfortunately the walkway on the intact part of the bridge is currently closed due to damages in another storm (?) The bridge can be seen in detail from a lower point of view which can be reached by a little pathway. Don’t forget to check that out.

Gundagai has an amazing history and amazing atmosphere, come, and see the District. The Staff are Great and helpful, help 😀 you to see the Lovely City of Gundagai. It is in the Centre of the City, they have nice parking off the street, next to the Visitors Centre is an Playground and BBQ to have a rest 😴. I love the Rusconi's Marble Masterpiece on Display, made 😍 all my Hand, each pieces 😍 and polished each Marble pieces was polished by Rusconi, and put ❤ all the pieces together has taken him about 35 years? All the Marbles were found in Gundagai and New South Wales, see 👀 the Marble Masterpiece. The old town Gundagai was built on the Murrumbidgee River and became a township in 1838. On the 25th of June 1852 it was destroyed by a flood 4 to 5 metres deep across the river flats. With 78 recorded deaths, the flood was Australia's worst natural disaster, until the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfire in Victoria. An even larger flood followed in 1853. Prince Alfred (6 August 1844 - 30 July 1900), after whom the bridge named (opened in 1867) was the Queen's Victoria (24 May 1819 - 22 January 1901) her second son. He was the first member of the Royal Family to visit Australia, touring in 1867 - 68, when he was 23 years. He was shot in an assassination attempt at Clontarf (Sydney) March 1868. Prince Alfred Bridge the iron spans are of unique design. The top chord is continuing and rests on roller bearings. The piers are made of 6ft high by 6ft diameter (approximately 2M x 2M) cast iron drums made at Fitzroy Iron Works Mittagong. They were the first large iron casting made in Australia. The total length of Prince Alfred Bridge was 921 metres. The Railway viaduct built in 1903 is the largest timber truss bridge ever built in Australia and measures 809 metres. Prince Alfred Bridge from 1867 to 2021, was at Gundagai for 154 years. Early November 2021 due to the significant safety risk that the deteriorated timber viaduct poses to the Public. So it come down. The 25 June 1852 Murrumbidgee River flood, local Aboriginal men, Yarri, Jacky Jacky, Long Jimmy, and one other played a role in saving many Gundagai people rescuing more than 40 people using bark canoes. 2017 a bronze sculpture of Yarri and Jacky Jacky with a canoe was unveiled in Gundagai, the number of people whom they saved is 68, one third of the towns population. In the census of 2016 the population of Gundagai was 1,925. Photos 📸 were taken at Mount Parnassus Gundagai Lookout. The Green Grass you see 👀 is the Gundagai Show- ground and Race Course. The rest is Gundagai.

So great that what is left of this huge workings is being looked after and cared for. Thank you. Good car and van parking at the end of a dirt road. There are toilets, covered eating area and a plenty of info boards leading to a great extended lookout. I walked around the ruins and totally enjoyed this piece of Australian history. Not a tough walk, but plenty of steps and very uneven.

I have seen (Sir) Donald George Bradman at Manuka Oval in the year 1963. With my school to fill the Manuka Oval as Canberra had a small population. Robert Menzies (20 -12 - 1894 to 15 - 5- 1978), Prime Minister, asked if he could 😀 play in Prime Minister 11 because he loved his cricket . Donald Bradman said yes, he comes out from retirement to play in Manuka Oval for the last time. I come from Europe and my country has never played cricket, only football ⚽️. My knowledge of the cricket 🏏 was zero. It took me a long time to understand the game of cricket and how the score counts in the cricket 🏏. We drove to Cootamundra to the cottage to see the room where the birthplace of (Sir) Donald George Bradman, at 89 Adams Street. The cottage was part home of Dr. H.M. Anderson and a hospital, on 27th August 1908 (Sir) Donald George Bradman, was born there were witnesses of his birth Nurse Scholtz and her daughter Ms Scholtz on the day. Donald Bradman's family lived outside of Cootamundra at Yeo Yeo, about 25 km (15.35 miles). Donald Bradman became age 3, and his family moved to Bowral, about 269 kilometres (167 miles). Little facts of Bradman's. The first game of cricket was at 11 for his school at Glebe Park, Bowral. Batted at number 4 and scored 55 not out. The age of 12 played for the Bowral High School senior XL. His second game, he scored his first century, 155 of the team total of 156, and he also took eight wickets. Met his future wife at the age of 12 when Jessie Menzies lived at the Bradman's house. After his wife's death in 1997. Bradman suffered "a discernible and not unexpected wilting of spirit. Hospitalised with pneumonia in December 2000, he returned home in the new year and died there on 25 February 2001. Centenary of his birth, 27 August 2008, the Royal Australian Mint issued a $5 commemorative gold 😀 coin 🪙 with Bradman's Images. To see the cottage that Donald Bradman lived at Yeo Yeo. It is in the town of Temora in the museum. Bundawarrah Centre Temora Rural Museum.

If you are a cricket fan you will love this. The Captains Walk is a beautiful walk featuring bust sculptures of all of Australia's cricket Captains. In the centre is a statue of Don Bradman, so grab a photo bowling to The Don, or try your hand at wicket keeping, either way it's a great opportunity for a photo.
