Canberra's finest attraction. It's hard to choose a favourite with such a great variety. Can't believe this is free.

A slight detour off our travels led us to this gem. Probably not everyones cup of tea but if you are into rocks or history you will find this place interesting. Remember firstly that this Rock Garden is very much a work in progress and a lot more is to be done. The plan is great.😀 Rocks here played a part in building our Australia. There are the Federation Rocks one from each state. Gradually more rocks will be added, rocks that help build our nation. We were there to witness the unveiling of a microsyenite rock from Mount Gibraltar near Bowral. Go there to gnd out its story.
