There is a parking lot next to the building. During weekdays you have to pay. After a security check of your bag you can enter the building. At certain moments there are guided tours. Ask at the information desk when the next one will start. The guide will show out the high lights of the museum. Afterwards you can visit the Exhibitions in detail and on your pace. Everyday at 16:55 hr there is a last post ceremony dedicated to a soldier who lost his/her life for our freedom.

Used to be and is still often referred to by its previous name “DFO”. Unusual for Australians (a nationality noted for abbreviating the names of everything) it doesn’t often get referred to by its new acronym possibly not surprising. Might have rated this ‘average’ in the past but the opening of the Lindt store late last year and the consequential opportunity to now try a huge range of Lindt Balls, some of which I’d never even conceived of, lifts it that one extra level. Yes there’s free parking and while it fills up on weekends, there are generally still plenty of spots if you’re willing to park some distance from the entrances to the shops, which most of the Centre’s customers seem reluctant to do. The food hallis somewhat limited offering around 5-6 options but the shopping is certainly cheaper than in the main malls across the city.

What an excellent tour to take part in. Who would have thought Queanbeyan had such a dark past! Nicole and her team are very welcoming and their knowledge of each location is amazing. A few of us had several experiences last night, from being sworn...MoreThanks Michelle - really pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for sharing your experiences as well. PS: and just to clarify, those sworn at attest it was by something otherworldly, not the guides or other guests! ;)

We went on a cool and relaxing hike through the pine forest and up the road into Kowen Forest after work.
We had the place to ourselves except for the grey kangaroos, wallabies, birds, so many species of creepy crawlies, and a wombat!! Unfortunately didn't get very deep in before the sun was setting and we had to return back to the car!
Hope they reopen the road soon!

8. ANZAC Parade Walk

Reviewed By KylieIsTravelling - Perth, Australia
This walk is impressive and is well worth a visit, even if you’re not interested in history.
Along this walk there are many monuments to memorialise historic wars including the Boer War, Vietnam War, Australian Army, partnership with Australia and New Zealand, plus another one that I’ve now forgotten.
It’s well worth seeing and I’ll be back to visit it again.

An awesome small town museum, thoroughly enjoyable. The quality of the exhibits and associated information is very high. The museum obviously enjoys attention from a devoted and dedicated team of history enthusiasts. My whole family had a great time here, highly recommended as an example of a local museum done right.
10. Mount Ainslie Lookout

Reviewed By Ree_Views1 - Goulburn, Australia
We chose to walk up Mount Ainslie from the War Memorial although you can also drive or cycle up to the lookout.
It was a little had to find where the walk began, it is not well signposted until you are actually on the track. We parked at the War Memorial and walked up. It is a good track, quite steep in parts. Make sure you take water as there is nothing available on the track. It took us almost 1 1/2 hours for the return trip including time to admire the amazing view and take pictures. Canberra is really a beautiful and well planned city.
