If you want to get outside of Canberra and into the countryside, an interesting place to go is Lanyon Homestead.   Built in stages through the 1800s, Lanyon Homestead -- 30 kilometres south of Canberra city -- comprises different buildings built through convict labor and later with the work of builders in the colonial era.
