Canberra would have to be our favourite Australian city. We lived nearby for nearly 20 years, so know there is always something to do in Canberra. It has so much to offer, with a thriving cultural scene, museums and art galleries to explore. We enjoyed many great culinary experiences and explored the park lands and…
