Click on the pins above to explore our stories on the ACT. The ACT is an amalgam of parks, nature reserves, and wild bushland, all within a short drive of Australia’s capital city. The Namadgi National Park, scattered with snow gums, or Tidbinbilla, populated by red-necked wallabies, make welcome escapes. Even in Canberra’s centre, the Jerrabomberra Wetlands, on the eastern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, host a wealth of birdlife.
