Canberra, capital of ACT and the nation, prides itself on being one of
the world's best examples of urban planning and landscape architecture,
for which it has Chicago-born designer Walter Burley Griffin to
thank.
Home to Australia's Federal Parliament, the
National Gallery and War Memorial, Canberra is an icon of cultural
sightseeing. The National Museum, Mt Ainslie and Red Hill lookouts, many beautiful embassies, National
film and Archive Exhibition and the Royal Australian Mint all
contribute to make Canberra an interesting and varied place to
visit.
This city has gone out of its way to
enhance its natural surrounding, planting over 12 million trees. Surrounded by
hills and close to good bushwalking and skiing country Canberra is a beautiful location,
great for a cultural catch-up and maybe a spot of
sailing on the artificial Lake Burley Griffin in the city
centre. |
