Review:
If visitors want to get to the heart of the best things to see and do in Canberra, they only need find Lake Burley Griffen. The lake is at the city’s center and most of the top attractions ring its shoreline, including the boomerang-shaped New Parliament House that sits on its shore, forming one side of the Parliamentary Triangle. The National Carillon with 55 bronze bells sits on Aspen Island, one of six islands in the lake’s center. Other attractions include the solemn Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery, Questacon – the National Science and Technology Center, and many distinguished sites. Canberra holds the key to Australia’s national identity.
