Canberra Nature Parks
Whether you're an appreciator of nature or a passionate environmentalist, you'll find a tour of Canberra and its nature parks to be a rewarding and interesting experience. The Australian Capital Territory is blessed with a diverse cross-section of native Australian flora and fauna evident at any time of the year you visit Canberra parks and gardens.
A map of Canberra and its surrounds shows the many hills, mountain ranges, grasslands, parks and gardens you can visit during your stay. If you are keen to experience the sights, scents and sounds of bushland but don't want to travel too far from Canberra city itself, head to Canberra Nature Park. Many of the 30 nature parks around Canberra are within walking distance of the city, such as Black Mountain, which holds the Australian National Botanical Gardens at its base.
Canberra Nature Parks boast different landscapes that range from bushland hills to some of the most fertile examples of native grasslands to be found in south-east Australia. Depending on which of the Canberra parks you explore, you'll come across different flora and fauna native to that environment.
The weather in Canberra can dip to the single digits in winter and rise to 40 degrees in summer. Depending on the season, different plants will flourish, although the wildflowers in Canberra nature parks can be spotted throughout the year. The wildflowers are christened with quirky names like Chocolate Lilies, Donkey Orchids, and Creamy Candles.
But the quirky names don't stop at the flowers. Animals such as the Paper Daisy Butterfly await your visit too.
