Things to do in Parkes

[Scenery] The scenery here is very beautiful, with clear blue skies and a few white clouds floating in the azure sky. The azure blue lake reflects the willow trees on the shore, which is refreshing.

The Australian National Botanic Gardens is a very beautiful plant kingdom, with exotic flowers and plants from all over the world, colorful and particularly beautiful. Riding on the Ferris wheel here and overlooking the entire botanical garden from a high altitude is really magnificent. Don't miss it to visit.

Canberra's Chinatown is quite lively and brightly lit at night. We had dinner at an Indian restaurant in Chinatown. The food in this restaurant is delicious, not expensive, and the service is particularly good.

The highest point in Canberra is open until 10pm. You can have a panoramic view of the entire city of Canberra from it. I checked the sunset time and arrived before sunset. It was very windy that day. I remind everyone to wear more clothes if you plan to go there. It was very cold. I saw the sun set into the valley. On the other side, the moon also rose. The big, round moon rose very quickly.

It's right behind the War Museum. Look at the map very close, not very high. Come out of the museum, prepare to climb Mount Ansley, ask the museum staff the way up the mountain. The staff were very enthusiastic, knowing that we wanted to walk up the hill and shake our heads. Help us call a taxi directly. Australians are very civilized and enthusiastic. They are also considerate of tourists. They deserve some praise. From the museum to the top of the Ansley Mountains, taxis cost about A$20. Mt Ainslie is just north of the War Memorial, 842 meters high. It's very close to the city centre and easy to reach. It can be hiked up the hill and there are footpaths leading to the Peak View Terrace. From the top of the hill, you can have a panoramic view from the Australian and New Zealand Legion Memorial Square to the central axis of Capitol Hill. The view is very beautiful both in daytime and at night. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to climb from the north of the War Memorial to the top of Ainslie Mountain. If you don't like climbing, you can drive directly to the top.

The theater isn't very large, so the view from the second floor was excellent, and the actors' performances were very lifelike, with very interesting dialogue. Plus, the theater has a beautiful terrace with floor-to-ceiling windows; I took some lovely photos there in the afternoon!

Do you want to know about Gibraltar falls, a great waterfall for hiking? Although Canberra is relatively boring, what can I say about Australia’s scenery and environment? That's one of his big selling points. If nothing happens, it's better to go out and take a look. The environment here is really good, very beautiful and the water is very clear. We always come here and we are so angry that almost all our friends and relatives who come here will bring them here to check in. It is quite a niche attraction and few people know about it. It’s quite nice for locals to come over for picnics and so on. There are also many people who swim in the water and we can often see them. We almost went there in this season. All seasons are suitable to go! But in the summer, the water will be bigger. There is a reservoir near the Sin River. It is also a recreational place. Haha, it is quite convenient to come here. If you have a car in Canberra, it is basically not a problem. *Whisperingly, we also came here when it snowed in Canberra before. As you can see, there’s a lot of snow here.

The National Clock Tower is located on a peninsula on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. Its 55 bells make it the top clock tower in the world.
