[2025 Parkes Attraction] Travel Guide for Commonwealth Park (Updated May)

#traveldiaries 🛩Travel Month: September 🛌 Accommodation: Novotel Canberra 💞Reasons to Recommend: Aside from being known as the home of various Australian government infrastructures, agencies and museums, Canberra is also famous for the biggest celebration of spring, where trails of tulips can be found throughout the city. Day 1️⃣ We decided to explore the Parliament House, Regatta Place, Cherry Trees Grove, and Australian War Memorial. Day 2️⃣ We followed the trail of tulips from the Canberra Times fountain towards Commonwealth Park to celebrate Floriade. It was fun! 📌Optional: Mount Ainslie Lookout #canberra #australia #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #floriade

#January travel support event #February travel support event #Overseas travel A flower festival held in Canberra, the capital of Australia It is said to be a big event that people from nearby Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne come to see it :) It is held every year around September-October, so if you are planning to visit Australia in September-October, please take note! It is smaller than you think, but it is held in various places in Canberra, so if you walk around Canberra at this time, you can see flowers everywhere ☺️ 📍Floriade Canberra 📍Commonwealth Park

💞Recommendation reason: There are many kinds of flowers, and the color combination is also very beautiful. The place is quite large and you can spend two or three hours there. There is also a stage area where there are occasional performances. There are also some shops selling related souvenirs next to it, which is quite worth a visit. There is also an amusement park area, which is not big but can be played. There are Ferris wheels, pitching games, etc. It is suitable for the whole family. #100 Ways to Travel #Good Places for Families #Australia

Canberra, where there are few people. The biggest advantage of having few people is that the city is less worn out and looks new. It is said that if you don't go to Lake Burley Griffin and see the jet fountain, you can't say you've been to Canberra. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I've seen the fountain. The willows on the lakeshore sway gently, the flowers are in full bloom, and the distant trees and corridors look a bit like the willows and fish in West Lake! The legendary grand flower show is set in Commonwealth Park on the side of Lake Burley Griffin. Maybe I thought it was a waist-high sea of flowers, or maybe the pear tree blossoms all the way in the morning raised my expectations. To be honest, the first sight of the flower show was a bit disappointing. Although it is said to be the largest in the southern hemisphere (there should be few big countries in the southern hemisphere), it doesn't feel very big and can be visited quickly; but looking at these clusters, clusters, and pieces of colorful flowers competing for beauty, millions of flowers are blooming in the sun and spring breeze, and the eyes are full of spring colors, this scene is still very spectacular. People's mood will change with the environment. Seeing such a flower show, no matter how bad the mood is, it will be reversed!

The annual Australia Day, held on January 26, 2023, is held on the lakeside of Commonwealth Park in Canberra, the capital of Australia, and is crowded with people. There are many food stalls with lightwork, music, fountains, water curtains and lighting effects. There are also many food trucks. You can buy food seats and have a picnic on the grass in the park. Don’t miss it next January 😀 In addition to the light rail that can reach the city center, car parking is free on public holidays. #Australia #NationalDayHoliday #Canberra #Lightshow

Floriade is a flower and entertainment festival held annually in Canberra's Commonwealth Park on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. This year (2022), it's open from September 17 to October 16. Actually I traveled to Canberra for business purposes. I stopped by there briefly on October 11th. I'm so lucky! The blooming flowers have not been damaged by the high intensity of rain :) It is very recommended to visit Floriade. I got refreshed before the meetings. When I was there, student groups from some schools showed their talents and performances. There were also several stalls selling food and household items. Because I am a moslem, it's a little bit difficult to find halal foods, but vegetarian foods are also delicious. So, no big deal :) #floriade #canberra
