Canberra the capital city of the
Australian Capital Territory
"Where the life can be of very serious nature"
Canberra is a city of decision making....
Behind the facade of politics lives a formal friendly city full of interesting people and lots of wonderful things to see and do.
Canberra is often described as a city full of politicians, bureaucrats - and very quite. To the unassuming eye Canberra can look deserted
and a little sterile, but when people visit those that live in and enjoy Canberra they quickly discover much more, the beautiful art galleries, museums, embassy's
clustered around the shimmering waters of Lake Burley Griffin.
The most popular attractions need to be visited; the old and new Parliament House are musts to inspect then go to the Australian Reptile Centre or National
Gallery of Australia, Canberra Railway Museum and the National Museum, National Portrait Gallery, Questacon, Australian War Memorial and National Botanic Gardens to
mention just a few.
There is much more to Canberra, take a country drive visit the satellite style suburbs or relax by the water of Lake Burley Griffin, join the crowd at the
Australia Day Live concert on the lawns of Parliament House.
Canberra is a favourite with visitors from Australian and other countries, each year, there are some one million people that come to see the Parliament houses
and other attractions. There is plenty of accommodation and transportation to the all the tourist destinations is easy to find and use.
