Every spring, Aussies from interstate make their pilgrimage (at least once in a few years) to view the gorgeous display of tulips blossoms and other spring flowers such as poppy, pansies, roses and bonsai. The show lasts for six weeks from early September to mid October.
Entrance is free which makes the few hours drive worthwhile. If you're into horticulture, the "show bag" is good value for money.
If time permits, you should explore the restaurants in Canberra city. I believe they must be of world class standard at a the centre where diplomats and officials congregate. Our hotel staff recommended Dickson where movie star Jackie Chan's parents used to own a restaurant. On arrival, we found heaps of Asian restaurants and fast food at Dickson and resorted to asking the local shopkeepers. We shortlisted and checked their menus and narrowed down to Jimmy's Place which serves authentic Chinese cuisine. We were told that another restaurant across the street which was very well presented would have charged more for basically the same sort of food.
