城市觀光建議
周邊交通資訊
Public transport is good from my place to the city.
The tram is a good connector to the city from the north.
There are a lot of buses that connect you to the city.
However, they can be limited at night.
不容錯過
Sunday farmers markets.
Sunday farmers markets in exhibition park, a short tram ride north.

Sunset views of Canberra
Walk or drive up Mount Ainslie to get a nice view.
Or if you're feeling lazy, take the view from my rooftop instead :).
