The perfect mid-week interlude or long weekend getaway, this short break in Canberra reveals the nation’s capital through new eyes. See what makes the city tick from politics and art to history, nature and fine dining. At the Australian War Memorial, hear poignant stories and privately explore with a guide followed by a visit to the National Museum for a private tour with a curator of the Museum’s ‘Biggest’ histories. Go behind the scenes at Parliament House with privileged access to off-limits areas, savour seasonal flavours and enjoy a gin tasting. You’ll be amazed by what awaits.
Journey Highlights
Arrive in the nation’s capital today and make your own way to the hotel. Join an expert guide for an engaging private tour of the Australian War Memorial’s Commemorative Courtyard. Enter the breathtaking Hall of Memory and gaze upon one of the largest and most captivating mosaics in the world. Pay your respects to the fallen and place a poppy of remembrance on the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier. One of the Memorial’s curators will also take you on a privileged exploration of a unique collection of rare and beautiful letters, photographs and diaries — many over 100 years old. Iconic and rarely displayed artworks by some of Australia’s most important artists of the last century are also exhibited.
Continue on to explore the National Museum’s ‘Biggest’ histories on a private tour with a Museum curator. Think along the lines of Phar Lap’s heart, the first Holden Prototype and the collections’ largest functional object, the Paddle Steamer Enterprise – a beautifully restored paddle steamer on the waters of Lake Burley Griffin.
