Ancillary Activities:

You may not have not visited Canberra before - or you've never had the time to spend getting to know this very attractive city; possibly you're are flying in a day or two before the Summit. Whatever the case, we recommend that you make the time to visit the last day of Floriade's 21st birthday (Sunday 12th); and/or other major national attractions: The War Memorial, the National Museum, the National Gallery, Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Questacon, or countless others.
