Okay, so I've asked and learned about Rottnest Island, now I want to ask folks from #Canberra, anything good to see/do there?

The National Dinosaur Museum is top of my list (and only thing on my list, haha). 🦖 My partner is keen to visit, but doesn't think it's worthwhile if we're only seeing one thing.

Um... Go see the Dog on the Tuckerbox in Gundagai?

@elfwink Next to the NDM is Cockington Green Gardens, Canberra Walk-in Avairy & Canberra Reptile Zoo.

@elfwink National Arboretum, National Zoo & Aquarium, National Museum and the Botanic Gardens are all good too.

@cefiar @elfwink lots of great suggestions on this thread - would only add national archives are amazing. They have all the letters written to politicians about UFOs and Harold Holt's briefcase (which he left on the beach before disappearing). And we also have nice restaurants and cafes. It's much better than it used to be 😍

@thesiswhisperer @cefiar @elfwink and don’t forget to pop into NLA - great exhibitions, lovely architecture and one of the best bookshops around (although Canberra is very good on bookshops if they are your thing - in that area also recommend popping past Paperchain, Muse and the Book cow).
