North Canberra

如何抵達

North Canberra is well connected by both public transport and road, given that it is right to the north of the city and is along one of the most important stopover points in Canberra.

By car The area is well connected by road. From the city, to get to places such as Dickson, use A23 Northbourne Avenue north while if you're heading to Campbell, use Parkes Way but east.

By light rail North Canberra is the only place where some form of public transport that is not bus transport passes through. While Walter Burley Griffin's original 1912 plan had plans to incorporate a tram network in Canberra, it took over 107 years for that to finally happen. Today, the tram line runs from Civic (or the city) passing through A23 Northbourne Avenue before terminating north in Gungahlin. The largest interchange in North Canberra is the 1 Dickson Interchange, right next to the Dickson Shops.
