  • Actually getting around in Canberra can be hard if you don't know the roads. I have been caught on the strange roads which seem to go forever with no exits...haha! But it's nice to see some of the sights while you're 'lost'...and the roads are always perfect there so they are great to drive on... :)

    But the transportation definitely has. In 1968, this was one type of car that would take you around the streets of Canberra. Canberra then was very neat, orchestrated and in my opinion quite sterile................lacking much personality. I am told now that it is still neat and well ordered but has found its soul. I will visit again soon to do the comparisons for myself.

    Well if you could ,go by car, its some 270km south west of Sydney. Takes some hours, but the views when you approach Canberra are really lovely.

  • It is about two and a half hours from Sydney by road on a reasonably scenic expressway. Driving is best, but Canberra also has an extensive cycleway network thoughout most of the city and surrounding areas.

    Cars.: A car is almost essential in Canberra

  • Key points of interest in Canberra include Parliament House, Lake Burley Griffen, Australian Institute of Sport, Australian National Art Gallery. All of these are not located next to each other or even within walking distance. If you didn't drive to Canberra, RENT A CAR! This will give you the freedom to take a drive around all of Canberra, including the highlights mentioned above as well as, perhaps, the trendy suburbs of Kingston & Manuka and the surrounding mountains that offer some great views over the Canberra region as well as some fabulous walking tracks... or for the more adventurous, mountain-bike riding, dirt bikes. You might even spot some pro athletes doing altitude training!

    Cars.: Drive from Sydney or Melbourne

    In our case for this trip, we were living in Melbourne at the time. We regularly checked the schedules for Qantas red-tail specials, and we could never find one that suited our schedule, so we decided to just drive instead. This also was more economic, as we could stop along the way and also enjoy the Victorian countryside a bit. Canberra is roughly 650km from Melbourne, and 300 or so from Sydney. It took us a solid 8-9 hours of driving, however the whole trip took almost the entire day, because we stopped in a lot of little towns on the way home. If you have a car in Australia, do consider driving to Canberra!

    It is always good to know about a connection you may have in a city you are travelling in the future. One of our own VTers, Bungalow Bill (bungalow_bill49504) is a proud taxi driver in Canberra. He will be able to show you the sites, and get you where you need to go in a timely matter. I met Stephen in Melbourne at the "Big" Australian meet last year, and he was a very engaging and conversational chap. I always promote business to people I consider friends, so please contact him when planning a trip to Canberra. For Privacy sake, I will not publish his personal numbers, but contact him through VT!
