Tulip Top Gardens is located on the Federal Highway between Canberra and Lake George. It is open for just one month per year, when the tulips are in bloom. It is a private garden. At the end is a scan around Lake George, which has some water in it!

Australia's national capital, Canberra, stages Floriade each year, starting in September. It's a celebration of Spring which transforms Commonwealth Park into a flower show. The rest of the year, it is a grassy area, but come September, it becomes a kaleidoscope of colour. There is also an associated "village" where vendors offer their wares.
