King Charles Visits Canberra – 4 Places I’d Take Him

1 – Gundaroo Drive / Barton Highway Roundabout

"God Save The King" – because that’s exactly what you’ll need when you take on the absolute thrill of the Gundaroo Drive and Barton Highway roundabout.

While Canberra may not be as vast as London, this intersection is sure to leave a lasting impression. King Charles might find our infrastructure developments quite a spectacle, showcasing how we manage traffic flow in our small yet evolving city. He’d get a firsthand experience of navigating Canberra’s take on modern roundabouts!

2 – Dickson Town Centre

For a bit of cultural immersion, a stroll through Dickson Town Centre could be just the ticket for King Charles. Known for its vibrant and sometimes chaotic energy, the area would give him a glimpse into the diverse community that thrives here.

Who knows, maybe he’ll encounter an event that harkens back to Australia’s convict history, when a loaf of bread could land you a one-way ticket Down Under. But don’t worry, we’ve upgraded – he’d also have the chance to sample some of the best local cuisine and coffee in the city. Whether it impresses or disappoints, it’ll be an experience he won’t forget!

3 – St Andrew’s Church

Next, I’d take the King to St Andrew’s Church, a familiar sight for someone accustomed to grandeur like Westminster Abbey, albeit on a much smaller scale. While it may not rival the historic cathedrals of England, it’s a place where I’d ask at each corner of the church “Is this where the secret passage is? Is this where the tunnel lay for the parliament house? or maybe this chair is a secret lever that goes down into a bunker? I don’t really know, but I’d love to entertain the thought.

4 – The Belconnen Owl

Ah, the Belconnen Owl – Canberra’s answer to modern art and urban mythology. To show King Charles our commitment to becoming Australia’s next art capital, we’d present him with this iconic sculpture. A true statement piece, it perfectly captures our city’s quirky charm and creative ambitions.

It might not be a royal portrait, but it’s certainly an image he’d remember!
