If you haven’t explored Canberra before, we suggest extending your trip by a few days to see what Canberra has to offer.

Canberra in winter is chilly in the mornings and evenings but often fine and sunny between 10am and 2pm. Be prepared for zero or sub-zero temperatures when heading outside early or late, but layer your clothing, so you can enjoy the sunshine around midday.
