March is the best time to visit Canberra if you want that Capadoccia experience. Every year, these hot air balloons take off as part of Canberra Day which falls on March 13.

Head to Patrick white lawns for the take off spot, or hang around Lake Burley Griffin to see the colourful balloons in the sunrise sky.

🇦🇺Australian war memorial🇦🇺 🪙Royal Australian mint.🪙 🍷🍸Eat & Drinks🍷🍸 🌥🌸Cockington Green Gardens🌸🌥 one day trip from Sydney to Canberra #canberra ##funs #joy Great food great brews. Go to place in Canberra for a special beer. I particularly enjoyed the Descent22 Imperial Stout. Rich vanilla flavour aged in foeder barrels with a hint of hops. At 10% it’s not a session ale but great for a winter’s night in Canberra. Very generous serve for a strong beer too! Combined with the tasty food menu it made for a great night out (spicy chicken wings). The atmosphere upstairs makes the place even better.

A wonderful trip during vacation. Enjoyed fabulous views and food with friends just like we used to do. #summervacation

The Aboriginal Tent Embassy is a permanent protest occupation site as a focus for representing the political rights of Aboriginal Australians. First established in 1972 as a protest against the McMahon government’s approach to Indigenous Australian land rights, it is made up of signs and tents. Since 1992 it has been located on the lawn opposite Old Parliament House in Canberra, the Australian capital. It is not considered an official embassy by the Australian Government. The targets of protests at the Embassy have changed over time, and as of 2021 include not only land rights but also Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination. #historicculture

Must-have hotel | Australia's Canberra's Pirates of Dream Space Ovolo Nishi is probably the kind of amazing hotel, the hotel's lobby is like a grotesque dream space, handmade timber strips, hanging and staggering Arrange the way to highlight the sense of horizontal space. The lobby is also very recognizable. The old-fashioned luggage is built into a wall, and the comfortable sofas and benches are everywhere in the corner. Compared with most of the hotels, such places Not tired on the previous day. The floor-to-ceiling window near the corner has a reading area where you can chat, drink and read books. If it is not enough time, I really want to chat here until the handsome little brother appears. Hahaha The room was even more pleasantly filled. Custom furniture, various art works and art collections were combined. The door was opened and it was pulled into the retro style of the 19th century. The vintage was mixed with low-key luxury. bath is a good location, the feeling of grayness is cold and wants to let people lie in the bathtub and chat with themselves. Don't say, I have to jump into this big bathtub~ Well, by the way, remind everyone, come to Canberra to live here~ Address: NewActon Precinct

Blowing this animal hotel in Canberra, Australia Can you think of taking a bath next to a bear? or the lion strolling outside your door? or feeding a giraffe on the balcony? these... can be achieved at the Jamala Wildlife Hotel in Canberra, Australia~ The different rooms are scheduled to be adjacent to this animal. The hottest room should be half a year or even a year ahead of schedule. Scheduled, the little word this time the neighbor is a cute lemur, but unfortunately the little guy is no longer out to stroll when he is full. My room and bathroom overlook the entire zoo. At the hotel, there will be special lecturers who will visit the animals and interact with them from time to time. Dinner can be said to be very romantic. At the cave restaurant, the candles and the hotel guests will have dinner together. Next to the zoo's white lion~ persuade interested people not to set the lion room, of course not The attacking behavior, but the feeling of being awakened by the lion in the middle of the night is a bit strange.

One of the most explored cities in the world | Australia Canberra Explore the city do not miss - Australia National Academy of Fine Arts and Australian National Museum National Gallery here more than 160,000 Art works, the Chinese aunt who explained to me is a funny and elegant person duck~ I am impressed by the sculpture in Figure 3, the head is on the ground and the phone is still in the hand, explaining "social tools let us Life has disappeared unconsciously." There are five or five works, and the miniature crowd is very realistic. I asked the administrator to put a few McDonald's villains in such a serious work. The administrator said: Some people say that eating McDonald's will kill more people... Hey, Brother dei, are you serious? The National Museum is another charm. The venue itself is very design, and its great to take pictures outside. The exhibits here are very interesting, such as the Mutombo fossils, the Sydney Opera House section, various models, and two VR experiences per day. There are joint exhibitions from time to time. When I go, it is a special exhibition of DreamWorks Animation: from sketch to screen. You can see a lot of familiar movies, such as "Kung Fu Panda", from the sketch character to the whole movie to the screen, you can understand the birth of the entire animated film. When you leave, remember to go to the gift shop. There are various kinds of children's books, as well as local design handmade ornaments.

End the exhibition, you can have a cup of coffee in the restaurant of the art gallery and then enjoy the food and beauty and then leave~ Australian National Gallery Opening time: 10

Australia | Sand kangaroo super funny spring Canberra has a sense of vitality, the yellow flowers of the city are swaying. The Tebabila Nature Reserve, about 45 minutes from Canberra, must be a must-see destination for Canberra, Australia. This is probably the place where I have seen the most kangaroos. The kangaroos are a little exaggerated with the mountains and plains, but after a while, I found a hillside, a little closer, and stood up and looked at us. The sand sculpture looks really funny. The kangaroos that were very hot some time ago were fighting on the side of the road. The video that the driver couldnt persuade the horn to take place in Canberra, it seems that its not unusual, because there are really many kangaroos here [ Yunshen]. The guide said that the place where the male kangaroos were concentrated feeding was called boy club, hahaha, so funny. This is a paradise for the baby. Its hard to imagine that my familys sister will see if she will catch up and then get rid of the kangaroo. 141 Paddys River Rd, Paddys River ACT 2620 Opening hours: Monday-Sunday 9

we had a Bday dinner in Raku tonight. we ordered the $120 set menu with a $69 sake experience 5x60ml. Nice food, good quality, friendly staff. Recommended.

I was initially impressed with the location of QT Canberra, right in the city center, making it easy to explore the attractions of Canberra. The hotel's modern design also gave a positive first impression. However, the overall experience was far from satisfying. The most frustrating issue was the slow customer service. I emailed the hotel with a question before my stay, and it took more than 48 hours to receive a response. This level of responsiveness is unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. The air conditioning in the room was excessively loud, and the only option was to turn it off, leaving the room hot and uncomfortable. The poor soundproofing in the room was another issue; I could clearly hear noises from the bathroom, which made it difficult to relax. Parking was another inconvenience. The hotel charges $30 per night, but there’s no guarantee of an available spot. This made parking stressful and frustrating. While I understand the construction site view isn’t the hotel's fault, it would have been nice to be informed in advance or offered a room with a better view. Despite its great location, the poor service, noise issues, and lack of attention to detail made this stay disappointing.
