Ready for a burst of blooms and color? One of my favorite spring day trips took me from Parkes to Canberra’s iconic Floriade 🌸 This annual floral festival is an absolute must-see and, best of all, it’s totally free! Top Spot to Visit: Floriade at Commonwealth Park, Canberra, Australia Open: 9am–5pm (Mon-Fri), 9am–5:30pm (Sat-Sun) Every spring, Floriade transforms Commonwealth Park into a riot of color with stunning flowerbeds, creative displays, and live entertainment. The floral sculptures and rainbow tulip fields are seriously Insta-worthy! My tip: go early in the day to beat the crowds, and bring a light jacket–spring mornings can be crisp. How to get around: If you’re coming from Parkes, grabbing a rental car is the easiest way (and gives you total freedom for photo stops). Parking at Floriade is well signed, but aim for weekday mornings if you want a stress-free spot. Food recs: There are plenty of cute food stalls inside the park, but I loved grabbing a coffee and pastry from a nearby Canberra café before heading in (Urban Pantry on Bougainville St is a tasty win). Key tips: – Pack sunscreen, a hat, and water (shade is limited in some areas) – Don’t miss the souvenir stalls for quirky garden-themed gifts – Most festival activities are free, so budget is not a worry! Whether you’re a flower fan or just after a unique spring experience, add Floriade to your calendar – trust me, it’s worth the trip 💐 #Floriade #SpringInCanberra #ParkesDayTrip #AussieAdventure #tripdotcom#travel #canberra

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. Precautions: Parliament House security checks are strict—limit bag size. Drinking water is a must for the Botanic Gardens.
