 A Zephyr? Canberra's War
Memorial by unravelau
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. Leave a Comment

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... :) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

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. Theme: Car/Motor Home

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! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Stephen aka Bungalow Bill by ATXtraveler
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! Leave a Comment

 Drive cautiously especially in
winter! by AusPinay
There are several rules regarding four wheel driving and driving in general around Australia.
Specially if you are driving from Canberra to the snowfields, one must drive very cautiously and ensure their car can handle slippery and rough terrain. Around Canberra is definitely smooth driving, but to the surrounding bushlands and mountains, it is a different story.
In winter too, as there is a high incidence of four wheel drive vehicle accidents, the RTA (Roads and Traffic Authority) now recommends all vehicles carry snow chains from June to OCtober, especially if drivers have little or no experience driving in snow conditions.
While 4X4 are exempt from fitting chains under the present laws, this may change in the future. So, when in doubt, just inquire with your local RTA.
As with any driving, common sense must be used, no speeding or overtaking especially on double lines, curves, crests, etc.
Being alert for road signs and warnings are also very practical! Sometimes we get caught up in the beauty of the sights we passed by that we momentarily forget the rules, so be careful! Theme: Car/Motor HomeWebsite: rta.nsw.gov.au
