Capital Country Information
The picturesque region surrounding the nation's capital is a sophisticated blend of country hospitality, excellent food, wine, accommodation facilities and attractions. Capital Country is known as a quality producer of cool climate wines with townships such as Young producing cherries and stone fruits used throughout Australia and great restaurants and cafes at each turn. The wonderful architecture of some of Australia's earliest established towns is also fascinating to explore.
Close to Sydney it is a facinating mix of heritage towns and villages, amazingly beautiful waterways and stunning country gardens. This is a place to revel in, to revisit the past and refresh the spirit.
You'll delight in tasting local fare, making the most of scenic walks, exploring caves, visiting galleries, helping out on a working farm, mixing with the locals, discovering early colonial buildings and spring gardens. One of the highlights of this area are the magnificent gardens that come in all shapes and sizes, from a few hanging baskets of bloom to acres of landscaped gardens with many open to the public.
There is always something around the corner to surprise you at Capital Country - an interesting little road, a glorious garden, a delightful little restaurant or an exquisite antique shop. Canberra itself is packed with national landmarks and the city boasts a lively cultural calendar and is abundant with great restaurants and cafes. A short drive away you'll find quaint colonial villages and some of Australia's most fertile farming country. There are orchards, wineries, and renowned wool and cattle properties.
So, visit Capital Country and enjoy a breath of fresh air.
