Description:

Explore the capital city of Australia, Canberra, on this full-day tour from Sydney. Listen to your expert guide as you admire important sights such as the Australian War Memorial, Mount Ainslie, Parliament House, and The Lodge.

Along your way to Canberra in a comfortable coach, stop in the quaint hamlet of Berrima and take a short stroll through the old village with a tranquil river. In Canberra, travel to the summit of Mount Ainslie in Canberra's Nature Park for an aerial view of the city and surrounding mountain ranges. Next, hear the combat story while you wander through the shrine at the Australian War Memorial.

Dependent on current exhibits, visit either the National Museum or the National Gallery; both are impressive architectural landmarks. Later, take a private tour of Parliament House and get a chance to view the upper or lower section when the House is in session.

See The Lodge, a Georgian-style mansion that is now the official residence of Australia's prime minister, before you spot the National Library, the largest reference library in the country. Drive by the magnificent, manmade Lake Burley Griffin and admire the High Court, the Captain Cook Memorial, and Commonwealth Park.

As you prepare to return to Sydney, get a glimpse of the National Carillon's charming tower and hear the chimes of the bells ring into the city.
