Macquarie Australian Capital Territory 2614

Home to Canberra’s only waterslide park, Big Splash, it’s unsurpising that Macquarie is a great place for families to call home, but retirees and students also enjoy all that the suburb has to offer. Only 8 kilometres from the city centre, Macquarie has two schools, plenty of places to entertain the kids, and residents are spoiled for choice when it comes to shops. Jamison Plaza has multiple supermarkets, speciality shops and eateries, including the colourful array of sweet patisserie treats at Ricardo’s Cafe. There’s also the smaller Macquarie Shops on the other side of the suburb, or it’s a quick drive to Belconnen Town Centre.
