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.

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).
