National Triangle

Spend the King’s Birthday long weekend: Learn the Story of Canberra, Go on a guided tour of Anzac Parade or Reconciliation Place, walk around Lake Burley Griffin, visit the Little Burley Markets, or visit one of the great Cultural Institutions in the National Triangle.

Find your way around the National Triangle with our tourist map. Pick up your copy from the National Capital Exhibition.

Winter Wonderland arrives at The Little Burley Market! From 9am–2pm, enjoy cosy stalls, multicultural food, warming drinks, and the Soup Celebration. Bring the family for free entertainment, live music, dancing dragons, games, and creative activities on Queen Elizabeth Terrace.

Honouring Edward Koiki Mabo, this artwork reflects the landmark 1992 High Court decision that overturned terra nullius and recognised native title. Featuring Meriam Mer and symbolic elements of Country, it celebrates Indigenous custodianship, justice, and enduring connection to land forever.

Crisp winter mornings in Canberra’s National Triangle bring golden light over iconic landmarks, mist rising from Lake Burley Griffin, and quiet pathways inviting reflection. Rug up, grab a coffee, and embrace the calm beauty of the capital at sunrise daily.

Along Anzac Parade, the Boer War Memorial honours Australians who served in South Africa from 1899–1902. Pause here to reflect on sacrifice, service, and the nation’s earliest overseas commitment—a less known chapter of our military history remembered with dignity, respect, and gratitude at Canberra’s national heart for future generations to learn.

Celebrate National Reconciliation Week at the National Carillon with Dr Thomas Laue and Wiradjuri-Tongan vocalist Tahalianna Soward-Mahanga. This special concert weaves Indigenous voices and anthems of hope, unity and justice, embracing the 2026 theme All In for reconciliation nationwide together.

So excited for a great day!

Autumn drapes Canberra’s National Triangle in colour, as golden leaves soften views of Parliament, memorials, and lakeside paths. Cooler days encourage slow walks and quiet moments, where history, nature, and seasonal light come together in a calm, reflective setting at the heart of the capital.

National Reconciliation Week begins today as we reflect on shared histories and look toward a more respectful future. Join guided tours at Reconciliation Place to explore stories of healing and unity.

Today also marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum, a milestone in recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia’s history.
