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.

What To Expect
Lake George
Stop for a picture of the mysterious Lake George, an ephemeral water body that fills and empties of its own volition. One of the most studied lakes in Australia inspiring scientists, artists, birdwatchers, and historians. It can be full of water but there are times when the dry lakebed is used for grazing.
Mount Ainslie Lookout
Looking from Mount Ainslie you can instantly grasp geometric features of the city designer Walter Burley Griffin after whom the man-made lake carries its name. Within the cordon of hill is the triangle formed by three significant points, the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House, and commercial Civic Centre.
