Spectacular “English” gardens. Absolutely beautifully designed and around every corner is another wonderful experience. To top off a fabulous visit, two very friendly and lovable border collies joined us. Highly recommended for garden lovers.

You need to book a tour if you want to visit the historic site/ruins, they run about twice a month on Saturdays. The tour is very informative and quite fun on the special trolleys. The owners are doing a great job with this piece of history in their garden, go support them!

The Grape Escape all the way. Scott and Mira have tailored our wine tours, to us. They take the time to get to know the people who are going on the tour and tailor your needs, wants and likes. It IS SO PERSONAL. They are also so informative about the wineries and distilleries you visit and that was a definite plus for us. We would and have recommended the Grape Escape Southern Highlands wine tours as they are #1. Continue your great personal service, you are both GOLD. Thanks for the wonderful tour and for making us all feel so special. Cheers Phil, Karen, Carol and Peter 🍷🥃🥂🍾🍇🍍🍐🍏🍋

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!

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.

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!

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.

We recently visited Commonwealth Park in Canberra during October spring, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The park was bursting with colorful, blooming flowers, creating a vibrant and picturesque setting that felt like walking through a living painting. The floral arrangements were beautifully designed, showcasing a wide variety of flowers in full bloom. The combination of colors, patterns, and landscaping made it a perfect spot for photography and simply soaking in the natural beauty. The atmosphere was calm and refreshing, with plenty of open spaces for kids to run around, making it a family-friendly destination. We saw many families enjoying picnics, children playing, and people strolling along the well-maintained paths. The park’s layout is very well thought out, with benches, shaded areas, and clear walkways, which makes it accessible and comfortable for visitors of all ages. October is definitely one of the best times to visit, as the spring season brings out the very best of the park’s gardens. It’s also a great spot for a peaceful walk, relaxing by the lake, or just spending quality time outdoors. Commonwealth Park is truly a gem in Canberra, offering natural beauty and a welcoming environment for everyone.

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! 👍👍👍

This place is magical. If possible you'll want to stay the night. We did the giraffe tree house! We were able to watch them from our balcony and feed them. This was over my anniversary and birthday 🎂 and they absolutely made it extra special. The service is top notch the guest experience is unforgettable. If I lived here I would make this a yearly event. It's top notch 💯 they made my anniversary and birthday unforgettable

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 🥰🥰

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Such a magical spot for photos. Every photographer should make the effort to check it out. The angles and light is perfection and late afternoon gives the best effects. I can't wait to go back in the snow. Wow! These photos are just from my phone. The photos of my family from my 5d mk4, are spectacular. it's worth walking to the top to see the view over the mountains.

I loved visiting the Junee Licorice & Chocolate Factory. Seeing how the licorice is made and turned into different products was very interesting. I was glad I did the tour. I bought heaps after partaking in much free sampling of their range. Definitely a highlight of my recent trip to Junee.

What a great place to step back into time and see these magnificent stream and diesel trains. The best part is that it still has a full operational round house. I believe the only one in Australia. We especially enjoyed the guided tour by one of their volunteers Lee and Dudley. I highly recommend this place for all ages. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed it, even in the winter chill. Make sure to check out their train model display. There is a little bit of history in there 😉

About 10km east of Wagga near the airport. Five planes outside with information boards to inspect. Heritage centre well laid in a series of small rooms. Friendly staff. Free entry. Picnic area with undercover bbq and tables. Excellent information boards nearby.
