What makes Highlights of Canberra Full Day Tour a unique experience ?
One of Canberra’s most beautiful vantage points at the top of Mount Ainslie. From the lookout, your guide will explain the growth of a young city, the two-tiered colonial and capital city history and point out places of interest and key attractions, all while you survey the tremendous design of Canberra’s architect, Walter Burley Griffin.
Expect a drive through the grounds of the Royal Military College Duntroon – Australian Army’s officer training establishment and perhaps to Mount Pleasant where you’ll be delighted to an alternative aspect overlooking central Canberra.
Discover some further history of Canberra along with a up close look of Lake Burley Griffin & the Captain Cook Memorial.
After a journey through the Parliamentary Triangle, we head to the Old Parliament House – home to the ‘Museum of Australian Democracy” where you’ll enjoy our own short guided tour to key parts of this magnificent building showcasing more than 50 years of Australia’s political history.
From the Old to the New, it’s then just a short journey up the Hill to New Parliament House. Get a guided tour through Great Hall, Senate, and House of Representatives Chambers.
We usually break for lunch at the Queens Terrace Café, a café with a variety of food options, sure to satisfy even the most diverse tastes.
As mid-afternoon rolls around, we’ll leave New Parliament House for a drive through Canberra’s diplomatic district – first passing by “The Lodge” – the primary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia.
We continue the drive through Canberra’s diplomatic district where you can spot the embassies of different countries represented in Australia.
We’ll guide you around the central part of the AWM before you’ll have some free time to observe some of the many galleries dedicated to showing Australia’s roll in conflict.
The final part of the tour is the Memorial’s Last Post Ceremony where a dedication is made to those who have fallen in service for Australia. It often leaves no dry eye.
