“A cute carousel ride for young and old”
It was a nice surprise to find this merry go round. $3 per ride - for young and old. Our 4 yr old went on 3 rides and wanted to keep going. If you get the chance go have a ride!

Love this part of yesteryear in the city centre. I can't think of another city in Australia that has such a beautiful novelty in its cente

“Great historic treasure!”
Great icon in the middle of civic! Every time I’m Canberra kids have a ball on the carousel 🎠
Only $3 per turn well worth money spent
