Those who might not be as familiar with Canberra, this one’s for you! We will be taking a group on a guided bus tour all throughout Canberra so you can get to know all the must-see sights, including the famous Parliament House to the infamous Mooseheads, and get acquainted with this small city we call home. Meet us outside UCBarx for pick up, where we will also be dropping you off so you can stick around and have a drink or a meal.

For this event we will meet you right outside the bar, ready to leave at 10am, just look for the two employees in UCLifex shirts that will be your friendly tour guides over the microphones on the bus. The accessibility to consider for this event is the constant walking and hopping on and off a bus for a long period of time, but this can be adapted for your needs. There will also be free lunch provided on the day. Our Itinerary is as follows:

1. Depart UC Telita Street 10am
2. Drive past Westfield Belconnen
3. Drive past the Belconnen Owl statue
4. Depart for Arboretum, stop for photo
5. Parliament House, stop for photo
6. Questacon, National Library, Galleries drive through
7. Stop at Lake near the flags for lunch and photos
8. Drive cross Commonwealth Bridge, point out civic, drive down Lonsdale Street
9. Mt Ainslie, stop for photo
10. Drive through ANZAC Parade
11. Drive through AIS-GIO Stadium
12. Back to UC for drop off at 2pm

The Social Intensity Scale for this is 4/5 as you will be meet a range of people throughout both the buses as you make friends and explore Canberra as a group.

We are always flexible and willing to work with our students so we want to hear from you if there are any accessibility requirements that will make it easier to attend our event!
