Holidays in Deakin

Travel is life. So pack your bags, hug your nanna goodbye and get going to Deakin! A Canberra neighbourhood, it's a fantastic base for exploring this impressive city's sights. One of the best parts of travelling is the people you meet on the way. And with 370,000 locals calling the capital of Australia home, there's plenty of opportunities to make some new BFFs. After hitting the tarmac at Canberra International Airport, your ride will head 8 kilometres west to get to Deakin. From the centre of the city, it's a distance of 5 kilometres to the southwest.

A good deal of this city's leading sights are located near Deakin, and Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial are two of the very best. After taking a look at those, you'll want to continue onwards to the National Gallery of Australia and the National Museum of Australia. A good way to better understand this city is to roam around some of its neighbourhoods. So why not make your way to nearby Yarralumla and Forrest and discover their unique charms?

Looking for some inspiration on things to do in the city centre? Kick off your sightseeing adventure at the National Zoo and Aquarium and Telstra Tower. To get an even better feel for your surrounds, also look around Old Parliament House and the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Local art galleries such as the Canberra Museum and Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery are a window into the creative side of the region. Why not check if there's an opening on and admire some of the wonderful works?

You never quite know what you'll uncover when exploring the thought-provoking collections of the Questacon, the Museum of Australian Democracy, the National Film & Sound Archive and the Australian Federal Police Museum. If you don't want to miss a thing, don't be afraid to pick the brains of the friendly staff.

How about a game of golf? Throw on a pair of khaki trousers, shine up your clubs and perform your best Nick Faldo impression at the Royal Canberra Golf Club, the Capital Public Golf Course and the Federal Golf Club.

There's nothing quite like a holiday with lively kids to keep you feeling youthful. Embrace the child within and have fun at the National Library of Australia, the Royal Australian Mint and the Canberra Merry-Go-Round.

Leave your phone at your hotel, log off from the worries of the modern world and discover the calm of the outdoors at Dalhousie Mound Springs, Arkaroo Rock, Jerrabomberra Wetland and the Floriade.

For a glimpse of some native flora and fauna, head out to Cotter Reserve and Canberra Nature Park.

Get your picnic on and invite a couple of friends down for an afternoon in one of the vibrant urban parks nearby. You have a number of options, including City Hill, Glebe Park, King's Park and Commonwealth Park.

A trip away is the ideal time to splash out a bit and grab yourself a few treats. Be sure to swing by Canberra Centre, Kingston Shopping Centre, Manuka Shopping Centre and Kingston Mall!

Step back through the mists of time at the Albert Hall, High Court of Australia, the Australian-American War Memorial and the National Carillon. These time-weathered sites have a collection of interesting stories to share.

Local spiritual places, such as the ACT Baha'i Centre, Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, Canberra Baptist Church and the Canberra Mosque, give you the opportunity to ponder in a calming setting.

Throw on some blue and yellow and see cricket team the ACT Comets attempt to snatch glory at Manuka Oval. As this stadium is also the home ground of the GWS Giants and the Eastlake FC, it's a good idea to check the schedule of this popular sporting hub and time your trip with a big game.
