Canberra, the capital of Australia. What to do and see. Canberra is the "ideal city", created to be perfectly human-sized. Very few cities in the course of human history have been built for a specific purpose. In 1908 the Australian government decided to build a capital for its state. * National Museum of Australia A museum, among the most important in the state, to understand the origins of these lands and beyond. Here is where to admire one of the priceless works: Blue Poles: Number 11, 1952, a dripping painting by the American artist Jackson Pollock; and then Monet, Andy Warhol and much more including a suggestive memorial dedicated to the first inhabitants of these lands. The complex is divided into 4 large exhibition areas: Aboriginal, European, Asian and international art. * Hot air balloon ride over the city * A bike ride with kangaroos You don't need to drive a lot to find yourself completely immersed in the most incredible nature and identify with one of those films that we have all seen on Australia. I warn you that this is where I felt my eyes become shiny with the beauty I was witnessing. In the company of Canberra Urban Adventures we went into the hinterland. * The Memorial, the Parliament and the view from above #australia #canberra #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences

Look for sunny window nooks for creative selfies! Personal tip: Scout the temporary exhibitions—some are quirky and photogenic. 3️⃣ Australian National Botanic Gardens (Clunies Ross St, 8:30–17:00): Save the gardens for the afternoon when the light glows through autumn foliage. Wander themed walking trails; the Rainforest Gully is especially peaceful!

Ideal conditions: clear, sunny days—perfect for photography. All sites are easily connected by local buses or taxis; wear comfy shoes.
