Canberra Farm Stays and B&Bs Canberra is the capital city of Australia. Much happens there and it is a great place to visit. Various museums remind us of our past as well as a Government House trying to shape our future. The country surrounding Canberra is very good rainfall country with very heavy stock carrying capacity. Very fine wools are also grown around Canberra and there are some excellent wineries available in the area as well. Our Meet & Greet service operates from this airport to all local properties.
