Top things to do in Canberra, Australia
"Built in 1988, Australia's national parliament building is a graceful and deeply symbolic piece of architecture. Sitting atop Capital Hill, the building is crossed by two axis, north–south and east–west, representing the historical progression and legislative progression of Australian democracy. There's plenty to see inside, whether the politicians are haranguing each other in the chambers or not."

Best & Cool Bars in Griffith

Tex-Mex mains and snacks in a funky, laid-back bar with outdoor seats and craft beers on tap.

"Whisky bars seem to be all the rage at the moment, but Honkytonks does things a little differently – here it’s all about the TEQUILA!. If too many ‘lip, sip, sucks’ have put you off it for life, I urge you to try again…this is a different experience entirely. Combined with some pretty amazing Mexican food, moreish Sangria, and a ‘cantina’-like atmosphere, the incense-filled interior of Honkytonks is great for a chilled after work drink, or something a little noisier."

"Once you’ve made your way past the instagrammers and bloggers crowding A.Baker, you’re in a unique venue that deserves praise for its ambitions. Head downstairs for the ‘speakeasy’ bar – a dim and striking escape from the activity above ground, the feature piece a row of amazing old marine lights, found in Jodhpur. It’s place to relax after work, or to wait for your table with some olives and nuts…but with a voyeuristic one-way glass window into the commercial bakery, it’s a fun way to pass the time."

5 places for pancakes in Canberra
"I was impressed with the Green House’s ricotta and date pancakes with banana, salted butterscotch sauce, whipped vanilla mascarpone and candied walnuts. The pancakes were fabulously fluffy and soft, lightly drizzled in an amazing sticky butterscotch sauce with a good portion of banana, blueberries and strawberries. The portion was smaller than I would have liked but that just means less calories!"
