Uncover the Australian Capital Territory by rental car
Located an approximate three-hour drive away from Sydney and a seven-hour drive from Melbourne via rental car, the Australian Capital Territory is in the cusp of two exciting cities. Let’s not forget that it is also surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, making it the perfect holiday destination for both city-loving individuals and avid fans of nature. With its strategic location, it’s no wonder that this locale is perfect for road trips.
Canberra is the capital of the Australian Capital Territory and with its up and coming food scene, the city is gradually appearing on the radars of foodies. Drive your car rental to Canberra’s various eateries and sink your teeth into a Dorito-crusted chicken burger. If you’re ready to have a serious cheat day, how about a Krispy Kreme burger that’s packed with pork crackle, bacon jam and onion rings? Savour the much-loved fudgy brownie sandwiches that would always sell out in a flash whenever it has a store in a farmer’s market—that’s when you know that these sweet treats are far from ordinary.
Earn your bragging rights about seeing wild kangaroos and koalas when you go on a hike in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. Located approximately 45 minutes away via rental car from the Canberra central business district, this family-friendly attraction is perfect for picnics and BBQs. For a better chance of seeing a wombat or a platypus, try taking a morning hike. An alternative spot that is worth visiting is the Namadgi National Park which is a great place for learning more about the aboriginal culture while getting active.
Canberra’s calendar is packed with exciting annual events that accommodate different interests, so be sure to drive your Australian Capital Territory hire car down to one of these energetic celebrations. In spring, feast your eyes on gorgeous blooms at the flower festival, ‘Floraide’, and get your mandatory holiday picture among the flora and fauna. If you’re visiting in autumn, you might get a chance to watch colourful and uniquely shaped hot air balloons dot the sky. With music and scrumptious food to accompany the stunning sights, this is an event that’s not to be missed.
Australia is also known for their pristine ribbons of white beaches and crystal-clear blue waters. For visitors who are keen on getting their beach fix, Canberra is just a short drive away from the beautiful beaches of the New South Wales South Coast. Get sun-kissed and swim in the waters of these beautiful shorelines. Visitors who are keen on catching a few waves might be able to do so at one of these coasts. This place is well worth the journey in your Australian Capital Territory hire car.
At the end of your holiday, return your Australian Capital Territory car rental at one of many Hertz locations in Australia. With the warm hospitality and so much to see and do, there’s never a dull moment here in the Australian Capital Territory.
