Beyond the suits: meet the trailblazing women who shaped Australia's capital
VISIT: At Canberra's tiniest walk-in gallery, the colourful and eclectic Gallery of Small Things, you can browse the itty-bitty art and talk all things tiny with founder and ceramicist, Anne Masters. Conversely, this is where Australia's recent gift to the new Pope - a painting by South Australian artist Amanda Westley - was secretly purchased.
EXPLORE: The National Gallery of Australia's 13-tonne, $14 million Ouroboros is a thought-provoking immersive outdoor sculpture where the experience changes every time one visits.
LINGER: The National Portrait Gallery is often overlooked in favour of the other attractions, but it's worth devoting a serious chunk of time to ponder our national identity.
STAY: East Hotel has big rooms, chic design and friendly service. Don't miss the carbonara scrambled eggs at Agostinis for breakfast.
EAT: REBEL REBEL and Corella are both very special, very Canberra dining experiences that will have you dreaming about the food for weeks.
