You can't beat golden hour in Canberra! โ๏ธ๐ Did you know it's been 60 years since Lake Burley Griffin was officially opened by Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies? The lake got its name from Walter Burley Griffin, who won a design competition back in 1912. It's a key part of his city plan, featuring a big artificial lake and a National Triangle for important national buildings. The Water Axis runs from Black Mountain along the lake, and the Land Axis begins at Mount Ainslie, crossing the Water Axis and stretching out to Mount Bimberi. Lake Burley Griffin is the heart of Canberra, surrounded by tons of national institutions, parks, and public spaces, making it a vital part of the capital's layout. Shoutout to @TimBean_Photography on Instagram for sharing this epic video captured from the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, beginning outside the Hyatt Hotel Canberra - A Park Hyatt Hotel, which is also celebrating its 100th birthday this month! ๐ฅณ ACT Government Australia.com National Capital Authority | #WeAreCBR #SeeAustralia #VisitCanberra #Canberra

Wisteria hysteria has hit Canberra ๐ and we're obsessed with how gorgeous the gardens look at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House right now! ๐ Every year in Spring, both the Senate and House of Representatives Gardens shimmer in purple hues as the wisteria blooms. Over the years, the gardens have witnessed friendly rivalry on the bowling green, Prime Ministers on the cricket pitch, and energetic games of tennis between teams from the Reps and the Senate. Today, they are the perfect spots for a picnic, a stroll, or to burn off some energy during your visit. #VisitCanberra #WeAreCBR #Canberra #Wisteria #Photography #SeeAustralia
