The George Harcourt Inn
Located opposite Cockington Green Gardens in the heart of Gold Creek Village, this Tudor-style English tavern is a beloved Canberra institution. Featuring classic dark wood furniture, roaring fireplaces, and a massive, leafy outdoor beer garden that is always buzzing on warm afternoons, it is highly popular with families and travelers alike. The tap list highlights fantastic independent Australian craft beers alongside traditional English ales, and the kitchen serves comforting pub staples—including legendary Guinness pies and full English roasts on winter Sundays.

Aboriginal Dreamings Gallery
An art centre exhibiting exclusively the finest of all Indigenous Australian art. Since its establishment in 1989, this art gallery has only showcased ethically sourced art – so not Indigenous art that was created by non-Indigenous people marketed as "Indigenous" (which is a common scam in Australia).

Canberra Walk-in Aviary
A small family-friendly walk-in with plenty of our feathery friends – birds! The walk-in contains over 500 birds from over 60 species, and if you've ever felt like feeding birds, but didn't want to in the wild, you can do just that here. But be aware, the birds are known to take the mealworms off from you (before you feed it to them), but if you're lucky enough from that, they may land on you.
Sep–Apr: 10AM–5PM; May–Aug: 10AM–4PM
