Fyshwick, Dairy Road, and surrounds

An industrial centre of Canberra turned popular weekend destination, eclectic Fyshwick houses more than a few surprises from a craft brewery to popular coffee roasters through to bargain shopping outlets.

At the Dairy Road Precinct, a collection of warehouses are home to many creative local businesses. Take a stroll around Grainger Gallery, pop into Jasper + Myrtle for chocolate infused with local flavours, and enjoy a meal to remember at Canteen. Refuel with a coffee at Londsale St Roasters before bouldering at BlocHaus. Taste local drops at Contentious Character's urban winery, catch a show at Mill Theatre, or have a beer at Capital Brewing Co. Everything in Dairy Road is within walking distance, so just find a park and take a wander.

Down the road, you'll find Jerrabomberra Wetlands. This nature reserve is steeped in a surprising history that includes World War 1 training trenches and curious links to Parliament House. Now home to over 170 bird species, Jerrabomberra Wetlands is widely considered one of the best birdwatching sites in Canberra.

Dotted throughout Fyshwick are vintage stores and boutiques including Dirty Janes Canberra, the Designer Op Shop Emporium, Capital Bazaar, and Material Pleasures. Head to the Canberra Outlet Centre to find brand names at discount prices. 

Taste one of the best coffees in the world at Ona Coffee House. With a mantlepiece overflowing with awards from the World Barista Championships and the Australian Brewers Cup Championship, this cafe and roastery also hosts workshops where you can learn the art of coffee.

In neighbouring Pialligo you'll find local homeware stores nestled between paddock-to-plate eateries. Taste the freshest food at Pialligo Estate, hunt for truffles at Beltana Farm, and indulge in baked goods from The Pialligo Bakesmith. Shop handcrafted ceramics at Bison Homewares or explore a majestic grove of redwood trees. Discover more great finds in our shopping guide.
