CANBERRA is more accessible than ever for Sydneysiders. The massive WestConnex road system begins at the back of Newtown on the edge of the CBD and a drive to the nation's capital now takes under three hours. It's a great incentive for more frequent visits as Canberra is constantly changing with new cafes, restaurants, hotels and some of the finest new buildings in the country.
Canberra's three cool climate wine regions are a major magnet for tourists. On a recent visit, we decided to focus on the Lake George area, including Bungendore and Wamboin in NSW. First stop the much-lauded Lark Hill Biodynamic Winery.
