CANBERRA EXPERIENCE GUIDE VISITCANBERRA.COM.AU INTRODUCTION Prepare to experience one good thing after another in Australia’s capital. Whether it’s award-winning restaurants and wineries, iconic museums and galleries or breathtaking outdoor adventures featuring Australian wildlife, everything is just moments away in Canberra. Ensure your clients experience the very best of Canberra with this snapshot of must-do experiences, events and places to stay. DID YOU KNOW? • The name Canberra is believed to mean “meeting place” in the Ngunnawal language, one of several Indigenous languages spoken in the district by Aboriginal people before European settlement. • Nestled conveniently between Sydney and Melbourne, Australia’s vibrant, multicultural capital city is home to around 390,000 people. • Canberra is only a short three-hour drive (or 40-minute flight) from Sydney and an hour flight from Melbourne. • Singapore Airlines operates a daily service from Singapore to Canberra (SQ288). Flying a new Boeing 777-300ER, the service includes a short transit in Sydney inbound, which enables passengers to stopover for a night or two before heading to Canberra, creating a multi-city stay on one ticket. • Qatar Airways operates a daily service between Doha and Canberra on the airline’s award-winning Boeing 777-300 aircraft. It connects Canberra to its global network of more than 150 destinations, including more than 40 in Europe. • Most of Canberra’s attractions are within a 15-minute drive of the city centre. With no tolls, minimal traffic and plenty of parking, Canberra is a perfect self drive destination. • More than half of the Australian Capital Territory is made up of nature reserves, national parkland or state forest making Canberra a nature lover’s paradise. Canberra is often described as a city within a park, or referred to as the ‘bush capital’. • Canberra is home to award-winning bars, restaurants, chefs, winemakers and baristas.

Within the labyrinthine corridors of Sasa Sestic’s coffee company Ona, in Canberra’s industrial enclave of Fyshwick, we reverentially take a seat in the main office. In comes someone carrying a tray containing glass jugs of deep brown brew. No words are spoken as Sasa puts his nose to the first jug and inhales deeply. “This”, he announces, “is Blue Copper–one of our experimental lots from Ethiopia.” We sip slowly and find ourselves swirling the suspension over our tastebuds. There are hints of red wine and dark chocolate. Our heavy pottery cups drain and it is time for the second brew—a washed Panama bean that is light with jasmine with a hint of green tea. Who knew coffee could be so complex? Sasa does. His good friend Mick Rose—also in the coffee trade—says Sasa is so deeply connected to coffee, so emotionally invested, so single- minded and obsessive, that one sip of an exceptional roast can bring him to tears. “Oh yeah, I have seen him cry when he drinks it,” says Mick. Sasa has also been known to travel for days to find a particular coffee bush—35 hours in planes, 10 hours of driving followed by several hours on horseback, through thick jungle.
