INDULGE AND RECONNECT Winter is the perfect time to escape with your loved ones and enjoy a luxurious mini-break in Canberra. Begin your day with a serene hot air balloon ride above Canberra as you take in the sweeping views from all angles. After that, grab a coffee from The Cupping Room or make your way down through the bustling Braddon precinct. Spend your day learning a new skill like glass making at the Canberra Glassworks, meandering through one of Canberra’s markets or take in the sights at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Explore Fyshwick where you can taste locally brewed beers at Capital Brewing Co., give bouldering a crack at Blochaus or take to the slopes at Vertikal Snowsports indoor skiing. Catch a flick at Palace Electric Cinema or a cult Aussie classic as part of the NFSA Restores series at the National Film and Sound Archives. Enjoy a fireplace feast with seasonal local produce at one of our award-winning restaurants in the Braddon, NewActon or Kingston Foreshore precincts. And what would a romantic escape be without some vino? Sample the best of the Canberra district’s vineyards straight from the source by exploring cellar doors, or head to Gourmet Traveller’s best bar, Bar Rochford for a warming drink.


Enjoy the season of sport in the capital this winter.

GET OUT AND ABOUT Head out and explore the bush capital over winter. Corin Forest is Canberra’s home of snow — just a 45-minute drive from Canberra and you’ll be able to enjoy tobogganing and more — an experience the whole family can enjoy (snow conditions permitting). Got energy to burn? Stromlo Forest Park is a world-class mountain-biking facility only 15 minutes from Canberra — expert riders will love the Vapour Trail, but there’s also plenty for beginners to cut their teeth on. Enjoy a scenic horse ride and lunch with Burnelee Excursions on Horseback, a unique way to enjoy the Canberra region. And sports fans, there’s plenty for you to get excited about. The Canberra Raiders are set to continue a stellar season with winter home matches at GIO Stadium as the Panthers, Cowboys, Tigers, Roosters and

Rabbitohs come to town. The stadium will also see the Plus500 Brumbies take on the Sunwolves and Hurricanes in June. GWS Giants hope to continue their fantastic run at UNSW Canberra Oval when they face the Crows at Manuka. And the AIS Arena will see the GIANTS Netball take on the Thunderbirds, which is sure to be an exciting game.
