Australian War Museum, Canberra

Many backpackers tend to neglect or overlook Australias capital, Canberra, on their travels around Oz – yet it is the epi centre of the country. For me the Australian War museum alone is a great reason to visit, it’s a solid day out and a great history and culture fix. And best of all it’s free! It’s a magnificent building in it’s own right and a fitting tribute to the “Diggers” who have served for their country.
