Answer 1

Canberra is about half way, and has a lot of interesting stuff.  There is Questacon, with lots of hands on science exhibits, the National Gallery, Library and High Court all close together.  There is also a dinosaur museum and Cockington Green (a mini-town) close by. There is lots of other stuff.

Bungendore has a lot of craft galleries, although you have to head off at Goulburn and go through Queanbeyan for Bungendore to be on your way.  Goulburn has the Big Sheep which is a must see for tackiness.

You can stop at a lookout over "Lake" George, between Goulburn and Canberra and wonder at the absence f the main ingredient in most lakes - water.

Collector has an interesting pub, and used to have a yummy cafe a couple of years ago.
