This is intended to give visitors to Canberra an approximate idea of times (from a bare minimum), in hours and minutes and suggested itineraries, as well as how much to budget (in Australian dollars). Although this is only intended as a rough guide, it might save you quite a bit of valuable time, especially if your time in Canberra is limited.

This page came about because Brochure Distribution Services has been asked, by a few visitors, how long they should plan to spend at some of the various venues on our lists.
