Choose two major indoor attractions for the full day and leave time to enjoy each.
Check current road conditions and attraction hours rather than using the report's old travel times.
Check holiday opening hours for museums and dining before each day.
Pick one comfortable base where evenings together are easy and add one regional outing.
Choose one substantial day for a regional outing only if it does not force a rushed return before work.
Give the first day to central sights and a relaxed meal, then choose the side trip by its real travel time.
Price a one-day car hire only for any outlying stop that truly needs flexible transport.
Choose one or two nearby attractions instead of a city-wide checklist, or stay overnight if Canberra is a strong priority.
Keep the first day's stop count small so you reach Canberra with time for dinner and rest.
Choose one lakeside or garden walk each day and add a nearby cultural stop or meal rather than crossing town repeatedly.
Reserve an Easter meal in advance and keep a supermarket or hotel dining fallback.
Choose one morning stop based on your route out of town, then set a firm departure time. Canberra's landmarks are spread out, and a short photo stop can become a long detour.
