Expansive gardens, the National Bonsai & Penjing Collection, rolling pine forests and commanding views over Canberra offer diverse subjects — intimate plant details to wide panoramic vistas. Best at golden hour for warm light and long shadows; spring for blossoms and autumn for leaf color. Site entry is free, ample parking at main carparks off Forest Dr; paths are mostly wheelchair-accessible. Weekday mornings reduce crowds. Check seasonal opening times for the bonsai house.
