Lyons has all the features of a well-loved suburb: a central location, local shops and cafes, walking and cycle paths, and plenty of open space. With its close proximity to Woden Town Centre and major transport corridors, the suburb offers an enviable location. But you don’t even have to leave thanks to the Lyons Shops which offers all the basics plus a great brunch spot in Stand By Me—always worth a visit even if just for their french toast with delicious and ever-changing toppings. You can also go walking, mountain biking or horse riding in the 65-hectare Oakey Hill Nature Reserve.
