Welcome to Canberra

"CANBERRA IS LIKE THE BEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE WHERE YOU HAVE ON SHOW ALL OF YOUR TREASURES AND FAMILY HEIRLOOMS" (Senator Gary Humphries, Senator for the ACT in the Australian Federal Parliament)

Walk amongst the finest collection of Australian flora in the world at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Reflect on Australian democracy and the part you may play in its future at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.

No visit to Canberra in the ACT would be complete without a tour of Parliament House.

Floriade  is Australia's celebration of spring. Featuring more than a million blooms as a backdrop, Commonwealth Park in Canberra explodes into colourful bloom with fantastic entertainment, displays and a whole program celebrating a set theme each year. Floriade will be on during IIBCC 2012.
