The two Canberra region locations are featured in the latest Australian edition of Monopoly, which was released on Wednesday.
The custom Australian Community Relief Monopoly game board aims to unite Australians nationwide after being impacted by the events of 2020.
It will also raise funds for The Australian Red Cross to assist areas impacted by bushfires, floods and COVID-19, with $5 from every game and $2 from every Monopoly Puzzle donated.
Other locations on the board include Batemans Bay, Port Arthur, Bundaberg, Katherine and Coober Pedy.
Winning Moves, manufacturers of the official Australian Community Relief version of Monopoly under license from Hasbro, say the games will be sold through retailers nationwide.
"We wanted to provide Australians with something positive in the challenging year that is 2020, and highlight how incredible our own backyard is, whilst also supporting Australians in need," Winning Moves Australia representative Charlotte Waalkens says.
"The communities chosen have all gone through a tough time for one reason or another as everyone has in 2020 and we thought they deserved something special to remind everyone how incredible they are, and help inject some positive spirit through the Australian Community Relief Monopoly game."
"Choosing which locations to put on the board was unbelievably difficult, as there are so many phenomenal places to choose from in Australia, and we wanted to showcase places above and beyond the usual cities or hotspots.
"We feel that the Australian Community Relief Monopoly board and puzzle capture the heart of Australia and shine a positive light on regions that otherwise may not normally receive such exposure. We hope it will also bring a bit of much needed joy to Australian families over the holidays. "
