Rent a car from Canberra Airport
History, food and culture await when you touch town at Canberra Airport. Home to Australia’s political hub, visitors can enjoy a number of historically significant sights in the Capital City including Parliament House and The Royal Australian Mint. Some of the lesser sought after historical sights are:
- The Aboriginal Tent Embassy, a semi-permanent assemblage established in 1972 outside Old Parliament House to educate and represent the rights of Indigenous Australians.
- For a further glimpse of Indigenous culture and heritage, Namadgi National Park contains multiple preserved artefacts of Aboriginal culture, and has demonstrated evidence that the area was inhabited 21,000 years ago during the ice age.
- While not a historical sight itself, the Australian War Memorial is Australia’s national memorial to its armed forces. The memorial features commemorative areas for reflection, as well as various permanent exhibitions that tell the story in Australia’s role in various conflicts over the past 100 years.
- Old Parliament House was utilised as the seat of the Parliament of Australia from 1927 to 1988. Following Parliament’s move to Capital Hill, Old Parliament House has been utilised as the Museum of Australian Democracy since 2009. The museum is a fascinating look into Australia’s political past, where visitors can take a peek at the desk of former prime ministers, or take a step back in time and visit the parliamentary offices, which have been preserved to look just as they did when Old Parliament House was a political hub.
For those looking to broaden more than just their historical horizons, Canberra is also located a short drive from scenic destinations such as Lake Burley Griffin and Mount Ainslie. It’s also a quick drive away from many small towns within the ACT and NSW that are full of small town charm. Some of our favourites are listed below:
- Hall – Still within the boundaries of the ACT, Hall maintains a charming country village feel, despite its close proximity to the capital. Hall offers fantastic markets on the first Sunday of every month.
- Yass – A one-hour drive out of Canberra, Yass is a quintessential Australian country town where you can learn plenty about Australian explorer and bushranger lore.
- Goulburn – Just under an hour away, Goulburn is a cultural hub that is home to one of Australia’s famous “big” things, the Big Merino.
- Bateman’s Bay – A two-hour drive from the capital, Bateman’s Bay is a quiet seaside town with unspoilt beaches and high quality local produce.
Hiring a car at the airport will help you explore Canberra at your own pace – whether you’re planning on staying in the city or journeying on to explore other parts of New South Wales or Victoria.
