Walk down to Lake Tuggeranong to relax by the water as the morning fully sets in. The lake is a calm spot to reflect on the sunrise you just witnessed.
Local tip
Viking Park is a 43-minute walk from the lake shore, so plan your timing carefully if you want to catch the exact moment of sunrise before heading to the mall.
