Route Numbering:
General Information:
ACT Tourist Drive 1 traversed arguably some of Australia's most important buildings and icons, all featured in the Canberra's Parliamentary Triangle. Buildings and landmarks include Parliament House, ANZAC Parade leading to the Australian War Memorial, some international embassies, and much more.
The route crosses Lake Burley Griffin twice, and is based on Walter Burley Griffin's original plan (albeit modified) for the capital, tracing the land axis formed by Capital Hill, Black Mountain Vernon (City) Hill and Mount Ainslie, which is one of the most prominent features of his design. For details and sketches of the plan, click here.
