Rocky Hill War Memorial and Museum

Military Museums
Perched atop Rocky Hill, the Rocky Hill War Memorial and Museum in Goulburn is a tribute to the soldiers of WWI. The museum showcases a remarkable collection of military artifacts thoughtfully displayed in both old and new sections. The memorial tower, built in 1925 through public funding, honors local service personnel and offers breathtaking views of Goulburn and its surroundings.
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.

An interesting war memorial and museum. Before coming here, we did not know at all that there were soldiers from Goulburn who contributed and risked their lives for several wars that happened throughout history. Unfortunately, the museum was closed when we came on Thursday (their opening days are weird). Also, the memorial tower was on renovation. There is a scenic lookout that overlooks the Goulburn city, it was pretty beautiful. There is a picnic bench and I think we saw a walking track as well. We did not stay until sunset hour, but I bet the view of the sunset would be stunning from up here.

Great war memorial in the Goulburn Hills. Stairs to the top are adorned with information boards. Awesome views from the top. Parking is plentiful as well as mobility parking. Beware of snakes signs on display. A museum is on-site as well.

Beautiful views of Goulburn township and the surrounding hills. The tower is open again after being closed for a few months, there are a few flights of stairs to get to the top but it's worth it ! The adjacent war museum was great too.
CarolynA ( — Google review
This is a very good memorial and unusual being a tower with a great view from the top and contains interesting photos and a grand Marble Honor Roll. There is also a museum and Heritage Cottage on the same site well worth visiting with a gift shop. Well worth the donation suggested for entry.

Belmore Park is a charming city square located in Goulburn, with a rich history and modern amenities. Once a major service center for pastoral land, it now features landscaped grounds, shade trees, and a playground for children. The park's transformation from a marketplace to a picturesque public space is marked by the installation of the band rotunda in 1899.
A very well laid out park. Nice war memorials, beautiful old growth shade trees and great play equipment for the kids.
Alex R — Google review
Stopped by Belmore Park while visiting the court nearby. It’s a beautiful, historic park with well-maintained gardens, vibrant flower beds, and a stunning old tree that adds to its charm. The park also has a lovely water fountain and a great playground for kids. A peaceful spot to relax and take in a bit of Goulburn’s history!
Abdullah A — Google review
Awesome park. Well maintained and reminds me of most parks in Country towns and many city parks before the developera moved in the council's decides they couldn't be bothered maintaining them.
Steve P — Google review
This photograph captures a beautiful, tranquil park setting, likely centered around a War Memorial. The statue, standing atop a dignified pedestal, is the clear focal point, surrounded by well-manicured garden beds and a low fence. ​The scene is dominated by the vibrant, lush green foliage of the large, mature trees that frame the memorial, providing a striking contrast to the bright blue sky dotted with soft white clouds. The intense colors suggest a clear, sunny day, making the stone of the memorial stand out beautifully. ​In the foreground, there are neat rows of freshly planted flowers, signifying care and respect for the grounds. Overall, the place exudes a sense of peace, history, and civic pride. It's a lovely spot for quiet contemplation and appreciation of the local heritage. ​Would you like me to focus on a particular element of the photo, like the memorial's design or the surrounding greenery, in a different style of description?

Belmore Park is absolutely beautiful. Whether you want to walk through the park and look at the lovely flowers beds, just sit in the shade and read a book or watch the world go by Belmore Park is the place to go. Kids love the playground area and it's very popular with families.

This is a beautiful park in the heart of Goulburn. Great place to stop for a picnic as one is driving from Sydney to Gundagai. Beautiful roses, shady. Just a lovely resting or stopping place. Cafe across the street, historical court house across the street on Montague. Plenty of parking.

The Big Merino

Gift shop
Sights & Landmarks
The Big Merino is a monumental tribute to the local wool industry, featuring a massive replica of a Merino ram that stands at 15.2 meters high, 18 meters long, and weighs 98 tonnes. This iconic attraction was built in 1985 and offers visitors the unique opportunity to enter the structure. Inside, guests can explore a permanent exhibition showcasing the history of wool production in Australia.
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.

Welcome to “Australia’s Statue of Liberty.” You’ve seen the Pyramids and the Eiffel Tower, but nothing prepares you for the majesty of The Big Merino. It’s a giant concrete sheep, complete with a wool museum and a gift shop, and yes. Seriously definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Stopped on our way to Geelong. Impressive statue. Took some snaps, had breakfast at Trappers Bakery, fuelled up and continued with the journey. Plenty of parking and other restaurants nearby. If you are planning a trip between NSW and Victoria make this place as your pit stop.
Antony R — Google review
This exquisite gift shop boasts an extensive selection of items, particularly focussing on high-quality woollen garments and accessories. The shop’s commitment to Australian-made products is commendable, providing an ideal platform to procure distinctive souvenirs. The staff’s exceptional kindness and helpfulness were evident throughout my visit. While searching for a specific dog coat, I was delighted to discover the Digeridoona line. The staff kindly suggested that I bring my dog into the shop for a fitting, which proved to be a valuable assistance, especially considering the chilly winds of Goulburn outside.

Great place to stop and relax with many shops around. It was a busy corner with the traffic coming in and out from the petrol station. The Big Merino Gift Shop had a nice collection of woollen clothes, souvenirs and hand made items.

The Big Ram is truly one of a kind such a unique piece of work that you can’t help but stop and admire! It’s not just the impressive size and craftsmanship that make it special, but the whole experience around it. The location is super convenient, with a bakery for a fresh bite, a servo nearby for a quick fuel stop and even a Maccas right there if you’re after something familiar. Don’t miss the amazing gift shop — it’s packed with quality souvenirs that really capture the spirit of the place. Whether you’re just passing through or making it a special trip, the Big Ram is well worth the visit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-See Aussie Icon!
Peeran K — Google review
It is a good place to stop and get some food and coffee. There is a huge statue of sheep, a tourist attraction. There is a gift shop adjacent to the sheep statue. The prices at this shop are a bit higher than normal. It also has a variety of jams and honey. Parking is not a problem. You can have a picture around the statue.

Sophisticated gallery offering high-end wood art & furniture, plus a cafe with classic meals & wine.
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!

Some amazing pieces of woodwork! Amazing to look at the detail and amount of work that goes into these pieces, from tables and jewellery boxes, as well as the sculptures and even chess pieces. Obviously quite expensive however rightfully so given the amazing craftsmanship that goes into these.
Bel R — Google review
The display of furniture and other items at the gallery are mind blowing. The craftsmanship is amazing and a everlasting tribute to their skills. People may think that these items are over priced but they need to step back and take a good look at the skills involved to achieve such beautiful work. This gallery is a must view. 👌

A great place to look at amazing works of timber. Though if you find yourself accidentally damaging something, it might cost a kidney. But other then a that, they display fine quality timber products and furnitures with amazing finishes and an assortment of kitchen appliances, decorative items, furniture, accessories, and toys. All top quality. The owners are also very wonderful and were very nice.

Drove 35 minutes from Canberra to look at the gallery and didn't disappoint with its amazing collection of woodwork. Then, as a bonus, I found the café through the gallery, and although expensive, the food and coffee were delicious! It's worth the drive! I will be back soon! 😊

I rarely give 5 stars but this place deserves them. Utterly amazing woodworking! From exquisite small boxes to large cabinets draw the eye for a closer look. Kinda out of the way in Bungendore 20km North on Canberra off the Federal Highway... but a must visit if you are anywhere in the area.

Stylish cottage in a vineyard for refined bistro dining on select days, plus a cellar door.
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!

Stunning spot, lovely hars working owners & staff. We enjoyed the 7 wines tasting option and a lovely lunch. We took home a case of the Tempranillo which was outstanding and 3 bottles of the Red Muscat Sticky, which were also exceptional: Christmas plum pudding vibes. We will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After searching through several venue alternatives for my daughter’s 40th birthday lunch, I settled on Lake George Winery and so very pleased I did! The staff and management were awesome. The food and wine was first class. The venue had a great atmosphere with plenty of room. The open fire setting setting and winter scape were just as they should be. Thank you to all for making my daughters day such a memorable one.

One of the best wineries in NSW! My mum and I did the $10 wine tasting and absolutely loved it. Our server, Theo was super friendly and knowledgeable. He guided us through each wine with great care and made the experience even more enjoyable. We also ordered the garlic bread, which was delicious and paired surprisingly well with the wines. Our standout favourite was the dessert wine which we couldn’t leave without buying two bottles. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this winery to anyone visiting the area.

Lake George Winery was the perfect wedding venue. The stunning vineyard views and the wine cellar created a beautiful atmosphere that wowed everyone. Shelly and Simon were fantastic throughout the whole planning process, and accommodated every request. We can not thank all the staff enough for how well the day ran. The wine was exceptional, the service top-notch, and the entire day felt like a dream. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a wedding location!

This place is fantastic 👌 👏I hired the dome and attended with family for a pre Mother's Day lunch. It was private and cosy with the heater to keep us warm and even on a dreary rainy and cold day, we all thoroughly enjoyed our delicious lunch and wine tasting surrounded by the beautiful vineyard. All the staff were very friendly, attentive and professional making sure our dining experience was a memorable one. I highly recommend visiting Lake George Winery and hiring the dome for somewhere different to enjoy a delicious meal with a unique experience. I will definitely be back with friends and family in the future 😊

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.

Had a fantastic experience with Arran leading our wine tasting. I had always meant to stop in when driving through to Canberra and am very glad we did. Can see why Lerida is included in the Top Wineries as published by The Real Review. We’ll be back. Thank you for your hospitality. Delicious wine!! 🥂🥂

This charming restaurant is set above the vineyard and is really interesting, great vibe, with wine barrels around the walls. The service is terrific and the food outstanding. We had garlic bread, then, Mains: pork belly, barramundi and seafood spaghetti. Desserts: panna cotta, crepes, raspberry & chocolate mousse cake and coffee plus one had, and loved, the Lerida Shiraz . It was a cool spring day and chilly even with heaters going so dress warmly if the temperature is under 20. Layers, people! But honestly, it was terrific. We celebrated a 50th birthday there in style and the view from the restaurant and shop/tasting area, near Lake George, is stunning. Looking forward to our next visit.

Stopped for lunch at this winery and had a great experience! The food was delicious, and the location was super easy to access from the highway.

They have the best wine. Their red wine is amazing❤️‍🔥. I go there all the time. I drive 40 minutes to drink their wine. The place is beautiful, the service is excellent, and the staff are very respectful. I highly recommend going. Don't miss it. Even if you don't drink wine, the place has a great atmosphere. You'll feel like you're in an old Irish wine pub. It's like the one from Peaky Blinders. 😅 I love this place. You can explore the vineyards and how the wine is made. It's such a beautiful place. And don't forget to taste their coffee too.❤️🙏

Been here twice now and loved it both times. Nice little quiet spot to stop at on the way to and from Jindabyne. Tucked away, and worth the exploration to get there. We had a lovely spread of cheeses and meats, amongst other things. Plus a nice glass of wine made there, paired perfectly. Very cosy, and pretty with a view of the vineyards. Highly recommend 👍🏻

A delicious lunch stop. The half charcuterie board was perfect as we did not want a big meal. Beautifully proportioned for the meat eater and the vegetarian. The reisling was yummy. And the consistency was impressive as the espresso to finish with was really good.

Driven past there countless times to or from Canberra and finally made the stop for wine tasting and a light lunch and loved it. Weather was warm enough to sit outside in the courtyard overlooking pinot noir vines and Lake George was very picturesque. 2 ranges of wines their value Estate range and their higher end Cullerin with deals if you buy certain quantity. Good menu for grazing or full lunch. Worth the stop.

The Mount Ainslie Lookout in Canberra offers a paved observation deck with panoramic vistas and information plaques detailing distant landmarks. From this iconic viewpoint, visitors can enjoy wonderful views of the capital city and surrounding areas, including main landmarks such as the War Memorial, ANZAC Parade, Old Parliament House, and the striking architecture of Parliament House. While there are no public toilets available at the site, it is just a one-minute walk from the carpark.
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.

Mount Ainslie was a wonderful part of our Canberra trip. The drive up was easy, and the view from the lookout was spectacular. We went in September, and the clear weather made for a perfect panorama of the city and Lake Burley Griffin. It was a great time to be with friends and take in the beautiful scenery.

Mount Ainslie Lookout is a must-visit vantage point offering sweeping views of Canberra’s cityscape, framed by lush bushland and iconic landmarks like Parliament House. Whether you drive up or hike the scenic trail, the reward is a breathtaking panorama—especially magical at sunrise or sunset. It’s popular with photographers, fitness enthusiasts, and families seeking a serene escape. Informative plaques add historical context, and the well-maintained paths make it accessible year-round. Native birds and kangaroos often make appearances, adding charm to the experience. A perfect blend of nature, history, and perspective—Mount Ainslie captures the spirit of Australia’s capital from above.

Museums
History Museums
The Australian War Memorial in Canberra is a stunning tribute to the nation's military history and the sacrifices made by its service members. The art-deco memorial, built during World War II, houses a well-designed museum that showcases Australia's wartime experiences. The First World War gallery is particularly moving, with its detailed exhibits and personal stories bringing the enormity of the conflict to life. Visitors are encouraged to take their time exploring the historical artifacts and stories on display.
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.
Sam ( — Google review
I cannot give a higher ranking than a 5/5. Our war memorial is simply a must see. So must history and gallantry we need to know. Beautifully exhibited. Staff are amazing. We took the free tour through the WW11 section with an amazing tour guide called Bill Arthur. He was a wealth of knowledge and simply loved the exhibits and it showed. We had such an incredible time and plan to go back soon as you simply cannot see and read everything in one visit. Simply amazing. Proud to be an Aussie.
Mark N — Google review
The Australian War Memorial is an incredibly moving and beautifully curated place. It’s not just a museum, it’s a powerful tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of so many Australians. The exhibits are detailed, respectful and deeply engaging and the Last Post ceremony is an absolute must-see. A quick tip - the galleries close promptly at 4 p.m. to prepare for the ceremony, so it’s best to arrive at least an hour and a half earlier to explore everything properly. The staff are warm and knowledgeable and the grounds are beautifully maintained. A truly meaningful experience that stays with you long after you leave.

The Australian War Memorial exceeded my expectations with its extensive and detailed exhibition areas covering major conflicts such as World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. The depth of the displays and the rich storytelling truly impressed me. The memorial itself is beautiful. The poppies adorning the honour rolls serve as a beautiful and meaningful tribute to those who served.Visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was a moving experience. The space, with its tall walls and stunning glass windows, felt like entering a grand cathedral, a place of solemnity and reflection. The surrounding grounds are immaculate, adding to the peace and reverence of the entire site. I now understand why the Australian War Memorial is so highly rated by visitors.Overall, the Australian War Memorial is a powerful combination of history, artistry, and respect, making it a must-visit for anyone wanting to connect with Australia's military heritage. It offers a deeply emotional, educational, and memorable experience that truly honors those who served.

This is a must do when visiting Canberra including jumping on to a free guided tour of the memorial. We had a lovely gentleman named Bob Davidson who was our terrific guide. Bob spoke clearly, empathetically and passionately and with that passion he kept us all engaged. Not one person from our group dropped off from the tour. I would recommend at least a full day visit here, maybe even a day and a half.

A wealth of history. Give yourself time, it is so worthy of the visit, and Poppy's Cafe is open for a meal or snack. I can't say enough about the staff at the War Memorial they are exceptional, thank you to all. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Each day around 4.30 pm the Last Post is played and one of our brave soldiers story is told. We were at two of these services recently, for two of our uncles who lost their lives at war.🕊 Lest We Forget.

Just a fascinating place...so much history on display. Excellent staff who all seem to go the extra mile to help with any inquiry you might have. Spent the entire day there and didn't get to see everything. Stayed for the Last Post Ceremony which was a wonderful way to finish off the day.
Steve W — Google review
A must see. The war memorial is a solemn and respectful place to remember those who have made Australia today. Everyone should make the effort for at least one visit to realise what war is really about. If it does not touch your heart, then you are not human. You need a day to really take your time and be thankful for what these men, women and even animals have done for this country. LEST WE FORGET. 🕊

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.

The National Gallery of Australia is such a beautiful space to spend a few hours. The collection inside is diverse and fascinating, with something for everyone, from Australian works through to international pieces. The grounds outside are equally lovely - peaceful, well maintained, and perfect for a wander before or after exploring the galleries. Well worth a visit, whether you’re into art or just want to soak up a bit of culture in a gorgeous setting. Also, highly recommend taking a hire scooter from the city, along the river and over the bridge to get here. It’s a really fun and scenic way to arrive, and adds to the whole experience.

An amazing place to enjoy the art and make mind very peaceful. It’s a large gallery with cafe and souvenir shop inside. There are numbers to follow. A great visit. Surprisingly, it’s complimentary to entry. There is a garage parking underneath.

The National Gallery of Australia offers a refreshing and diverse art experience. Compared to many Western galleries, it has fewer European works but boasts an impressive collection of American art, as well as a significant focus on Australian Indigenous art. The gallery also features fascinating pieces from Oceania, including works from Papua New Guinea—something you don’t often see in traditional Western museums. The collection is varied, thought-provoking, and definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for a unique perspective on art from around the world.

The National Gallery of Australia has a great collection of art, both Australian and international, on display. There's a variety of artwork displayed, from fabric to metal installations. We visited on a weekday and there wasn't much of a crowd. A visit is highly recommended!

Must see in Canberra. Very unique pieces that tell their own stories across many floors. Stunning pieces of work. Toilets readily accessible, and there is also a cafe. Entry is free with some exhibits requiring a fee, but all is mentioned on their website. Overall wonderful experience.

Very good art gallery. Here I saw Monet's water lilies and many Aboriginal artworks. There are also beautiful sculptures outside the art gallery. It takes 2 hours to watch at the National Art Gallery.
Annie S — Google review
A large and evocative building with national treasures on display. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The gift shop is reasonable. The café had nice lunch offers and good coffee. There is Wi-Fi access and mobile network reception. The Internatiomal section is worth a look. The aboriginal sections are a worthy effort, particularly the spears arrangement. Exhibitions are worth considering. I enjoyed the Cézanne to Giacometti exhibit. Paid parking is underneath, in the adjacent portrait gallery, or across the road.

Museums
Questacon - National Science and Technology Centre is a children's museum that offers interactive exhibits and puppet shows focused on science and technology. It is one of the must-visit attractions in Canberra, along with other notable sites like the National Gallery of Australia, Australian War Memorial, and more. The center provides an engaging experience for visitors to immerse themselves in scientific exploration.
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.

I came here many years ago when I was at school and remembered loving it. Came again recently as an adult with some friends and it was a nice nostalgic visit. Average entry price, we came about 2.5 hrs before closing time during the week and that was a good time as most of the school kids had left and we had a lot of space to ourselves to enjoy the place. While a lot of the activities are designed for kids you can still enjoy and learn as an adult. Loved the earthquake room and the lightning simulation as well as the big slide. Gift shop not too bad, I thought there would be more cool science related stuff. Also love that there's some nice places to eat within walking distance, and plenty of parking at the venue.
Crystal R — Google review
There's something for all age groups in this science centre. The exhibits are well curated and are informative. We visited on a weekday day and there were quite many school groups. We ended up spending quite some time in the centre, as we found the experimental learning enjoyable. A visit is highly recommended!

An amazing STEM space for everyone to learn from. Every exhibit is highly interactive for all ages and cover a huge range of scientific disciplines. We need something like this in Queensland too.

Iconic science museum - I remember coming here as a kid and enjoying the earthquake machine and lighting show. They’ve still got all that and lots more now. Parking can be a bit pricey, there’s a cafe and daily shows demonstrating how fire works and the like. Great for kids under 10!

So much to see and do for all ages. You can buy food from the cafe and sit inside or outside to eat. The initial ramp you walk up to start going in different sections is quite step. We had a fantastic afternoon there
Michelle C — Google review
Really fun experience for the whole family. If you've been to science works this is far more enjoyable for a family with kids. Very interactive for everyone, lots of things the kids can do on their own without parent intervention. Staff around on a few levels to assist or do demonstrations. Normally our kids steer clear of staff who want to interact... but all these staff had a way that worked and I've never seen the kids all so engaged. I could have gone and got lunch and they wouldn't have known I left. It was great to see! Hours of fun and exploration. Lids learned lots of new things and had fun with all the interactive stations throughout. We rushed in the end as had to get out of there, I think 3 hours is probably a good amount of time to set aside if you're heading in with multiple kids.

Parliament House, the national parliament building of Australia, is a grand and symbolic piece of architecture that opened in 1988. Situated on Capital Hill, it features two axis representing the historical and legislative progression of Australian democracy. Visitors can explore the interior, including the chambers where politicians debate. The security staff are professional and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Entry is free and thorough yet efficient security checks ensure safety without causing hassle.
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.

It was a wonderful experience to visit the building where important decisions are taken and the country is run. The exhibits in the corridors and narratives besides them give an insight into the history. We visited on a weekday and there were quite many school groups. Entry is free.

Parliament House in Canberra stands as a symbol of Australia’s democracy and architectural brilliance. Nestled atop Capital Hill, its iconic grass-covered roof invites public access, reflecting transparency in governance. Inside, the chambers of the House of Representatives and Senate host national debates and decisions. Visitors can explore exhibitions, watch live proceedings, and admire art collections showcasing Australia’s heritage. The building’s design aligns with Canberra’s layout, offering stunning views down the Parliamentary Triangle. Whether you’re a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or curious traveler, Parliament House offers a profound insight into Australia’s political heart and cultural identity. Entry is free and enriching.

Australian Parliament House ​This image captures the modern, stately architecture of the Australian Parliament House in Canberra. The focus is on the upper section of the building, featuring a facade of white marble with large, recessed glass panels that suggest a spacious atrium or roof structure behind them. ​Dominating the bright blue sky is the Australian national flag, flying atop a flagpole that emerges from the centre of the building. The flag is positioned against a backdrop of scattered white clouds, contrasting sharply with the deep blue. The overall impression is one of official significance, modernity, and a very clear, sunny day—a powerful, if slightly low-angle, shot of the heart of Australian democracy. ​A bit grand, isn't it? Would you like any specific details about the building or Canberra itself?

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 museum, with many informative and historical exhibits. It's time well spent immersing oneself in the exhibits and short films that are played in the screens alongside. There are some interesting automobile exhits too. We visited on a weekday and the museum was fairly empty. A visit is recommended, especially for the young ones.

Our family had a very positive experience here. The displays were beautiful and the building is stunning and extravagant, no expense spared in any way. Very welcoming environment, we entered without booking and just walked straight in and wandered around admiring the displays. There are many interactive elements to the displays with educational snippets everywhere you look. Many fascinating things, would definitely recommend to any age. The Cafe was a pleasant suprise also, food and coffee were all good and reasonably priced.

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.

A truly marvellous feature of Canberra. There are three basins; East, West and Central. It is possible to walk around all three with excellent walking and cycling paths. There are many picnic spots, toilets, some cafes and outdoor gym areas. The central basin walk is around 5-6km, the eastern basin around 13km, the western basin around 16km and if you take in all the peninsulas you can cover 35km. Good to know if planning a walk, run or cycle. One of my favourite running spots and a great place to take visitors. 🏃‍♀️🥰

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.
Alison C — Google review
We enjoyed a beautiful day at Four Winds Vineyard and found the staff were friendly and knowledgeable explaining what to expect from each wine as we enjoyed our Wine Tasting Flight. The pizza was the best I have ever had. A Hot Honey Pizza was to die for. The Potato Gorgonzola was milder in taste but very delicious. Thank you for a lovely experience and being able to take our little dog with us was appreciated. We sat under cover but with the sun on our back and it was lovely. We are from Victoria and were visiting relatives in Canberra, however that day we were celebrating my husbands birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed the day. Shame we don’t live closer to visit more often.

Beautiful winery to sit outdoors, enjoy great wine with breathtaking views. We tried the mixed and white / rose tasting flights with pizzas. The salami and black olive pizza was delicious. The potato and gorgonzola was ok, I hardly could taste the gorgonzola. Overall we had a great experience and really recommend this place.

It's such a shame i visited this vineyard on a non-grape, non-harvest season as it was only the wood fired pizza i got to enjoy. I reckon, if it's grape season, and all bunches of grapes are hanging on those tendrils, my winery experience would be ten thousand times better! Just a little secret, we were in a big group when we dropped by and ordered every pizza flavour in the menu. Guess what? They were all exquisite.

Be careful of the Karen working at the information centre. Had stopped here with our 3 kids after a 4 hour drive for them to let off some steam at the playground and was greeted with a less than friendly lady telling us we had to move our car and caravan. Rather than being helpful and offering more information about where we could park she just yelled and told us to move the car and took a photo of us. Wont be stopping in this town again.

Yass is one of the most beautiful towns we have been to. We initially were going to stay a few days but stayed a fortnight. The history of the town and surrounds like Wee Jasper is amazing and the people are so friendly and helpful. The buildings and architecture is well worth seeing. I do think that there needs to be more promotion of Banjo Patterson and his connection to the area. Yass is a must visit and is very Highly Recommended

Rachel took myself and three kids through the cave system. Much bigger than I was expecting, Alot of rooms and awesome formations.

Beautiful drive to get there from Canberra.

Cave was really really nice. Pictures don't justify the beauty inside. Geoff (tour guide) however wants visitors to learn the process of how things existed which make the tour a bit longer. But he was very knowledgeable about the cave.
Angel V — Google review
The cave was better than expected with a variety of of things to see. Time from arrival to leaving was 2hrs 44 mins. Expected time frame from Geoff was 1.5hrs. Good points Geoff was very knowledgable and friendly. There was a long introduction before entering the cave. This could have been partially completed inside the cave in warmer conditions. We all learnt a lot and the caves were unique and bigger than expected. Unfortunately the tour was impacted by a family with toddlers that were very noisy and distracting for us. At times we couldnt hear Geoff. The website clearly states no children under 5 years old and I agree with this as there is a lot of information young kids would not understand and it is a long tour. Our 10 year old really liked the tour as did we.
Paul M — Google review
Went with a bunch of my friends and we all absolutely loved it. The cave is stunning and our tour guide Geoff was exceptionally amazing. Not sure why he has so many negative reviews when his passion and knowledge of the cave makes the experience a million times better. Geoff was an incredibly friendly and entertaining tour guide. We all left with a newfound appreciation for the natural world around us. The cave is also in a lovely isolated area with a reserve nearby where you can set up for a nice picnic by the lake. Would give 10 stars if I could, highly recommend!

Not only is this an amazing site to easily access but you also get tour guide Geoff. 🦇 His mix of Kevin Bloody Wilson humour with his infinite knowledge of speleology will have you and every age group in your tour engaged and entertained.

Geoff is a lovely guide with such passion and knowledge. His explanation of the cave’s history, geology, and features was clear, engaging, and way more than we expected. My mum and I truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and learned a lot from Geoff. We were a bit late due to the long travel from Sydney, but Geoff was kind enough to make up the part we missed after the main tour finished. It was absolutely worth the 4-hour drive.
Ivy C — Google review
Geoff is an amazing guide, knowledgeable and passionate about caves. He shared lots of information about cave formation with us, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our group consisted of two families with four kids in total, and Geoff's engaging style kept everyone captivated. The cave itself is vast and magical, making it a truly unforgettable experience. We drove from Canberra, and it was well worth the trip. The facilities include toilets and lots of space for a picnic. Booking is essential - you'll need to contact Geoff directly on his mobile number to secure your spot.
Anu A — Google review
Definitely book ahead otherwise you will pull up to a sign with likely no reception there! Geoff did an excellent job bringing the cave to life. He provided a lot of information and includes a hands-on table that let's everyone touch all the things! Recommend planning 2 to 2.5 hours for the whole tour.

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.

Lots of delicious honey! I really liked this shop, as a quick stop during one of our recent adventures. Not only does it have lots of honey to taste test and a surprisingly wide range of bee gifts, but it also a small amount of bee keeping heritage. I enjoyed looking through the history whilst mulling over exactly how much honey I could consume in a day. The service was lovely and the atmosphere in the shop is very relaxed. There are plenty of items designed for children and also a good range of other local prices that isn’t honey based. I also notice honey based skin care items too. Well worth a visit, and there is coffee and toilets nearby for travelers. It’s in a very pretty location with plenty of things to check out and wander through.

This shop is a must see in Murrumburrah for locals and visitors alike. It boasts a comprehensive array of honey types, all of high quality. This is not to mention the endless bee related paraphernalia. Every time we pop in here we end up with an arm full of goods! Thank you Arlyn and Ken for your hospitality.

Awesome store to buy honey! You can also try so many and you will probably eat to much... haha but it's so yum! They have all different honey from all around the country. You can buy some honey combe and creamed honey. The lady who served us was very friendly and cute. I love these small boutiques that you can only find in country towns😊

The Dog on the Tucker Box

Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
Monuments & Statues
The Dog on the Tucker Box monument in Gundagai depicts a famous 1850s bush ballad. The town offers more than just a pit stop, with its picturesque Riverina landscape and nearby attractions like artisan cheesemakers and chocolate factories. Despite some flood damage, the town is still worth exploring. Unfortunately, the iconic shop associated with the monument was recently broken into, but visitors are encouraged to show support to the owners.
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.
Jenni S — Google review
It's the small tourist stop you do either on the way to Victoria or New South Wales It's sad to see the shoo all closed up and the statue looking a little worse for wear. Still a good stop to stretch our legs, however. You can buy farm-fresh apples from a shed about 200 meters away from the Dog in the Sydney direction. If you drive towards the Olivers you can also have a photo with the big koala
Ray — Google review
Had a little stroll in the dog walking area. My pup loved it, & he even wanted to get on the original tucker box for a photo op! But, he's a bit of an escape artist & there were other dogs around, a freeway nearby, & way too many people and vehicles! So that didn't happen! We got close though, & a quick snap or 3! Good to see some works in progress with the new site for the old dog 🐕 mapped out on a billboard.

🐶 The Dog on the Tuckerbox, Gundagai ​This is the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox Pioneer Monument, an iconic piece of Australian folklore and a major tourist attraction located near Gundagai, New South Wales. ​Key Features ​The Statue: A bronze statue of a loyal dog sitting atop a wooden box, which is a "tuckerbox" (an Australian term for a food container). The dog is looking upwards, away from the box. ​The Base: The statue sits on a stone pedestal with plaques dedicating the monument "To our Pioneers" and commemorating its unveiling by Prime Minister Joseph Lyons in 1932. ​Location: The monument is situated in a paved area, which includes a small water feature (visible in your photo), and is adjacent to a cafe and farm shop, creating a popular rest stop for travellers on the Hume Highway. ​The Story ​The statue is inspired by an old Australian folk poem, dating back to the 1850s, about a bullock driver's misfortunes. The final straw for the unlucky bullocky was finding his dog sitting on (or, in the original, fouling) his food box, or "tuckerbox," which was an essential item for pioneers and drovers. The well-known folk song, "Where the Dog Sits on the Tuckerbox (Five Miles from Gundagai)", further immortalised the story. ​It has become a symbol of the resilience, hardship, and unwavering spirit of Australia's early pioneers and bullock drivers, and the loyalty of their working dogs. ​It's one of those classic Aussie roadside stops—a bit of history, a bit of humour, and a great excuse to stretch your legs. Just don't let your own dog sit on your lunch! ​Would you like to know more about the poem or the bullockies it commemorates?

Have always wanted to go, I would say it’s 3.5 stars, I don’t know what we were expecting but my husband thought it would be bigger like this Koala that was also at the same spot? Westopped in Gundagai and then found dog on the tucker bog as we were leaving. Luckily there is two exits as we missed the 1st one. Lots of food places, not a lot of merchandise but it is currently about to be renovated. Friendly staff, it was good to see. There was also another good lookout on the other side of Gundagai that looked out over the whole town, worth the look if you are going through.

A nice spot to stop for a break from driving, the statue & fountain is as you’d expect.. good for a photo! I just think they should have water fountains for dogs. I saw a lot of dogs here so I’m surprised they didn’t.

Prince Alfred Bridge Viaduct

Mentioned on

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Bridges
The Prince Alfred Bridge Viaduct, located in Gundagai, Australia, is a remarkable piece of historical architecture. It was constructed in 1866 and is the longest wooden bridge structure ever built in the country. Despite being damaged by floods and storms, the bridge remains in marvelous shape and offers a glimpse into past railway technology. While restoration works have closed off access to some parts of the bridge, visitors can still appreciate its beauty from lower viewpoints or by driving underneath it.
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.

The Gundagai Visitor Information Centre is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, offering insights into the region's rich heritage. The center provides access to the Gundagai Museum, which features an extensive collection showcasing bushrangers, local Indigenous heroes, and even a T-model Ford. Visitors are encouraged to engage with the friendly staff like Jackie and explore Rosconi's Marble Masterpiece for a mind-blowing experience.
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.

Walking from town across the footbridge and on the public walking track through the camp park (dogs must be on lead through the park), you come across the most amazing sculptures. Continue on beyond the sculptures, and the trail takes you to the extremely interesting Gold mill ruins. It was a good workout with a number of steps and river crossings. All up, it was approximately a 5 km return trip, and well worth the effort.

Bradmans Birthplace

Local history museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
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.

What an absolute credit to the volunteers that made this place happen and keep it running. Whether you know cricket or not, you know "The Don" Sir Donald Bradman. to see his birthplace..including a portrait with his parents and the midwife that delivered him. The actual room he was born in...Incredible that it is all still here for us to enjoy. The biggest shout out to the wonderful staff/volunteers who keep it open everyday and their Incredible passion. It's definitely a MUST visit. I'm going back as I was a little rushed for time and need to see everything a little more in depth.

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.

I and my family we all like our cricket 🏏, so we went to Jubilee Park, the day is nice 👍. As we walked around,'The Captain Walk' . To see the 47 bronze sculpture at Cootamundra. The Captain s Walk was planned and executed by the Cootamundra Shire Council (now Cootamundra- Gundagai Regional Council) with the approval of the Australian Cricket Board 🏏 (now Cricket Australia 🇦🇺). The first Australian cricket 🏏 team to tour England in 1868, Captain by Unaarrimim (Johnny Mullagh), the leading Aboriginal player. Stage 1, unveiled on 30 August 1998, comprised the likeness of Unaarrimim (Johnny Mullagh). Stage 2, comprising the remaining 30 Captains, was unveiled by the sculptor Tom Bass on 27th August 2008, the centenary of Bradman's birth barely a kilometres away. Stage 3, unveiled on 12 th March 2020, brought the walk up to date with the unveiling of three new busts - Shane Watson , Steve Smith, Tim Paine.

We found this gem by accident passing through on our way to Young. My hubby is a cricket fanatic and i have never seen such joy on his face as we walked through the sculptures of the cricket captains. In his words "the best stop and well worth a detour" Next to it is an awesome park for the kids. Public toilets and picnic spot. The whole town seems very cricket themed.

The Captains walk itself is interesting but it is also part of a great park with bbqs, shelters, playground, toilets. Great to amuse the kids whilst you appreciate the cricketing history. I learnt a few things as did my Dad and he knows way more cricket than I do. Parking is easy right out front.

Heaven for cricket lovers.. One of the best places I’ve ever visited in my life. Captain’s walk is a beautiful park with all the Australian Test Captains’ sculptures.. their records and stats engraved on each sculpture. Bradman’s Birthplace is about 3 minutes from here. A great historic place. People in Cootamundra are lucky to be part of this heritage. The park consists of bbq, children play area and a beautiful walking path.
