It is nestled quietly away from the rest of campus and for cricketers, there are batting cages just adjacent. The only downside is scheduling and lighting. It sometimes can be tough to get the field or a portion of the field unoccupied and light reservations are tough.

The museum is actually predominantly a gallery (or at least seemed that way when I was there). Interested art work from local painters that have some sort of relevance to Canberra's past or present. One of the highlights for me was the collection of Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly paintings. Entry is free, so there's no real reason to not pop in and have a quick look around if you feel like escaping in some art.

Floriade is fine, but definitely over-hyped. So, come with mild expecations, and you'll be fine…read more We moved to Canberra in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic so our first Floriade, in 2021, was cancelled due to lockdown. So when Floriade went ahead in 2022, we were pretty excited. It's the one thing all Canberrans talk about and hype up. But in reality, it's exactly what it says it is: a bunch of tulips. And that's it really, a bunch of flowers. And the flowers aren't even the focus of Floriade when you're IN Floriade. The flower beds are everywhere but there's no feature flower bed. No one-flower-you-must-see-because-it-is-the-best-flower-ever sort of thing. Which is kind of what I expected, you know, given the name and such. Instead, it's a bunch of food and booze trucks, with spots for the Instagram influencers of Canberra to post photos that might get a few visitors from Sydney to come down. But because of the whole of it, it's still enjoyable for everything else PLUS flowers. Food and flowers. Drink and flowers. A Ferris Wheel and flowers. In that, it's more of a way for Canberra to say, as a collective 'Okay Winter, you're done.' In that regard, it's really great. And I'll be back.

#90 for 2021…read more Beautiful! Common Wealth Park holds the annual event in Canberra, Australia's capital city. It's a fantastic way to celebrate Spring down under surrounded by color and some delicious food. Runs for a whole month so you'll have lots of time to take advantage. It's a 3 hour drive from Sydney. Glad I wasn't driving. Mainly tulips but there are a few that have been sneaked in. i was going crazy with the pictures but I was buzzing on the buzz beer. Made with honey this beer was delicious. I went through a 6 pack quickly. Had to buy another one to have some at home. What I did go crazy on was these exotic candy ropes that were creme filled. I bought enough to last me the whole trip. I still had some after our return flight. I was savoring them. If you can make it to this annual event I highly recommend you do so.

I guess I can only comment on my covid experience but all in all was a bit disappointed…read more Not really the museums fault but covid meant most exhibitions were closed and where it is opened you need to prebook to get in. Well we didn't book. We got there and we couldn't get in any exhibition so basically got nothing to do. Aside from the exhibitions, there's surprisingly little things to see. Lovely environment and a nice big car park though.

Why is it the countless times I have been to Canberra I've only just discovered this place?…read more Had to kill some time with daughter in tow and I always wondered what this colorful museum was about. For starters, it is FREE. Amazing. Great cafe and gift shop too. There is a theatre to watch the history of Australia, lots of multi-media exhibits to learn about Australia as well. Love the autobiographical section, with its domed audio recordings. They also featured the Azaria Chamberlain story ("a dingo ate my baby"). Outside, there is a water feature, although I don't think you can wade in it. Also beautiful grounds and fantastic Aboriginal displays. Next time I'm in Canberra, will probably stop in again!

I spent less than an hour here. What I saw here impressed me, possibly because my local guide James knew what we would like. We saw the giant Pollock Blue polls(impressive), Yayoi Kusama polka dot room(cool!) and the James Turrell Sky Space (neat). What's stopping you?

The price is right but beware, no photography!…read more Just like Australia itself, the museum is enormous and sprawling. You can sign up for a free walking tour with a docent if you're not sure where to start, but be forceful with him/her if asked what you would like to see. I really wanted a sort of "tasting" but the guide ended up spending 40 minutes in Aboriginal art, 10 minutes in expressionism, and then was told to "explore" myself. Had a I chance to do it all over again, I would have asked to see just a couple examples from 3-4 different "parts" of the museum. I'm a sucker for portraiture and there is a "Miss Nellie Patterson" that reminds me of the Gainsborough Blue Boy and Pinkie. All the wanting-adulthood aspirations of children...although Miss Nellie does look a bit unhappy to be painted :-) If you are an art person, this is a reason to visit Canberra. If you are an art person, and are taking a break from the far more "active" things you will do in Australia, give yourself at least half a day here; full day would be better.

The overall experience when you visit Questacon is fairly linear. You obtain your tickets, ascend through the entrance and then slowly descend through the few 'experiences' Questacon offers. The first experience is usually it's flagship, which can be identified through whatever is advertised on the website, and the following experiences are its core features. It was very fun have seen all of what Questacon had to offer, however, I believe its core features hasn't changed all that much since my last visit a few years ago and my first visit 20 or so years ago. If I had small gripe, though it doesn't really affect my overall experience, it would be the lack of events and shows. I feel like Questacon has missed a significant opportunity here. They could've created high quality science shows which focuses on different kinds of experiments from the different experiences they had. Instead, they have continued to use the same tired 'Food Science' show that has been running for at least, I would bet, 20 years. Again, not entirely a dealbreaker, as the experiences were very good, but it would really put Questacon on another league in science museums if they were to invest in innovating on their shows. Get on it, Q. Hire a few creative minds to reinvent your shows and I'll be damned if I don't go back to see them. Questacon is Pretty Good, if you've never been then tick it off your list, and if you have, well, then you have.
