Canberra has more major landmarks than perhaps any other Australian city. You can pack a picnic for Lake Burley Griffin; explore must-dos like the Australian War Memorial, Australian Institute of Sport, National Gallery, National Museum, National Library, Royal Australian Mint and National Zoo & Aquarium; enjoy 360 degree views from the top of Telstra Tower; and experience democracy in action with a free tour of Parliament House.
Albury, located directly across the Murray River from its twin city of Wodonga, has plenty of attractions of its own. Surrounded by mountainous landscapes, it’s home to the stunning Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA), a contemporary gallery with an emphasis on innovative exhibitions, as well as the majestic Albury Botanic Gardens and Wonga Wetlands.
