Canberra
Canberra, the capital city of Australia is a beautiful city and contains many attractions to the holiday visitor. For Australians, a visit to the national capital is an awe inspiring experience with so much of our history and culture recorded and celebrated here as well as a proud display of national icons.
The name Canberra comes from a local aboriginal word meaning "meeting place", a fitting title. Canberra has the unusual attribute of being completely planned and designed before its construction commenced in 1913. Because of this the entire city has a flow and feel that creates a unique experience for the visitor. Even the lake around which the city is laid was purpose built.
Canberra is the home of of a long list of attractions: Parliament House, The War Memorial, The National Gallery, The High Court of Australia, The Questacon Science Centre, Mount Stromlo Observatory, The Telstra Tower, Lake Burley Griffin, the list goes on and on.
The holiday visitor will easily be able to fill many days with activities as well as taking time to soak in the scenery of this beautifully designed city.
