Here’s an offbeat travel guide and some secret Canberra gems you need for your Aussie bucket list 😎🌏
Top Spots to Visit in Canberra 🇦🇺
Don’t miss the Australian National Botanical Gardens (Clunies Ross St, Acton ACT, open daily 8:30am–5pm) — such a peaceful oasis, and perfect for flower close-ups! For a unique hike, tackle the Granite Tor trail in Namadgi National Park; the view from the top is pure nature vibes. Hungry after exploring? Drop by Banana Leaf Restaurant (Ainslie Shops, 4/11 Edgar St, open daily from 12pm) for their Sri Lankan specialties — the kottu roti and string hoppers are absolutely worth it.
If you love photographing flowers, Canberra’s gardens and wild trails deliver endless inspiration. I found it extra rewarding to go early morning for better light and fewer crowds. At Banana Leaf, portions are generous, so don’t over-order — and if you’re vego, the curries are 🔥.
How to Get Around: In Canberra, public buses run regularly to major spots. For Granite Tor, you’ll need a car (parking is easy near Orroral Valley).
