Local Spotlight: Discovering the Charm of Canberra and its Region with Drivision Australia
Canberra is Australia's capital and one of the world's great planned cities — a deliberate creation of extraordinary cultural richness, set among beautiful lake and mountain landscapes 300km from the coast. Often underestimated by interstate visitors, Canberra rewards those who look beyond the political institutions with world-class museums and galleries, a rapidly growing wine region, excellent food and dining, and a quality of life that consistently ranks among Australia's finest.
As Drivision Australia's home city, we know Canberra intimately — its precincts, its venues, its best routes, and the experiences that make it genuinely worth visiting. Let us show you the Canberra that locals love.
Highlights of Canberra & the ACT
🏛 Parliamentary Triangle
Parliament House, Old Parliament House, the National Library, National Archives, and the High Court of Australia — the heart of Australian democracy concentrated in a stunning lakeside setting. Parliament House is free to visit and architecturally remarkable.

Australia's premier art institution — the NGA's permanent collection includes outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, the Blue Poles, and international works of genuine world significance.
🌿 National Arboretum Canberra
250 hectares of rare and endangered trees from around the world — with spectacular panoramic views over Canberra, Lake Burley Griffin, and the surrounding mountains. A genuinely beautiful living collection.
