What to expect
Stunning landscape of Southern Highlands, mysterious ephemeral Lake George, and nation’s bush capital Canberra... Depart Sydney early in the morning and head southwest for the three hours scenic drive through Southern Highlands. Passing several townships and pastures keep an eye on the grassy inclines to spot wild kangaroos or wallabies. After brief refreshment break continue towards the New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory border. Founded following the federation of the colonies as the seat of government for the new nation, Canberra has a unique purpose, setting, character and symbolism. Shaped around a man-made lake, surrounded by the bush, and set in amphitheatre of hills, the nation’s capital is an exciting meeting point of world-class art, museums, politics, and diplomacy.
