🇦🇺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

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

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
