A convenient (and fun!) way to see the major sights of Canberra is on the Red Bus, operated by Canberra Day Tours, which makes a regular circuit around the major attractions. Tickets are A$35, and you can hop on and off all day. Go Bush Tours runs half- and full-day tours of Canberra and the surrounding countryside.
