Lake Burley Griffin Cruise

The Gull

Lake Burley Griffin Cruise

This is a great, relaxing way to see the sights of Canberra while you cruise around Lake Burley Griffin.

We parked in the Questacon carpark, only a short walk from the jetty on Queen Elizabeth Terrace where we boarded the “Gull”. Conveniently located near a coffee shop, you can get a snack and coffee if you arrive early.

The boat takes you past many of the attractions of Australia’s capital while giving you a different view of them. The tour guide was very informative, going through the history of Canberra and most of the places we looked at.

Depending on the tour time, the Captain Cook Memorial Fountain may be operating, so you will get a close-up look of the water jet.

This was a fun, informative tour and would be a great introduction for anyone new to Canberra.

    Nice day out. We have an Angel of the north in England as well. Very similar.

      I think this was one of the original models for the huge one you have up there. So, sort of a miniature version of the real one
