Australian Capital Territory Top Things To Do
• Indulge in any of those stereotypically Australian activities at the Glenloch Sheep Station, located in Belconnen on the outskirts of Canberra: these include sheep shearing, boomerang throwing and sheep-dog demonstrations, and they are usually rounded off with a traditional Australian barbecue lunch.
• Round off a good walk or horse ride with a picnic in the scenic park area along the Murrumbidgee River Corridor: more than 60km (37 miles) of the Murrumbidgee River meanders through the territory, and there are myriad picnic and swimming spots.
• Go bushwalking, fishing or rock climbing in one of the parks, forests or nature reserves; the trails provided allow visitors to embark on a good exploration of Australian bush and even include the chance to see some Aboriginal rock art.
• Make time for a round of golf: the Royal Canberra Golf Club, located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, is ranked amongst the top 10 courses in Australia; the Federal Golf Club features views to the Brindabella mountain ranges.
• Spend the annual ANZAC Day at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, which is deservedly one of the city's most popular attractions, and the scene of the colourful annual ANZAC Parade; it contains archives, galleries displaying relics, photographs and art.
