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. The balloons take off almost every morning for that week, depending on weather conditions. 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

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.

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.

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
