Canberra

Filed Under Australia 

Welcome back!

Canberra is Australia’s national capital and is a city where over 330,000 people live.  When most people think of Australia the first cities that come to mind are Sydney or Melbourne.  Canberra may not have the big international reputation or the population that either of those cities have but what is does have is the centre of government and a planned city much in the same vein as Washington. 

Canberra was designed by Walter Burley Griffin and it’s his plan that still forms that foundations of Canberra today.  Canberra is a quiet country like destination compared to the big city of Sydney but lacks now of the conveniences that the bigger cities in Australia offer.  The Griffin plan was designed to build Canberra around a man made lake, that which was named Lake Burley Griffin and provides a unique vista of Canberra and where the majority of national institutions are located. Canberra is abundant with shops, partly due to having the highest average salary in the country.  Canberra offers a wonderful location for those looking for the big city convenience of Sydney, less than three hours away and under one hour in the air.  The snowfields and coast all less than two hours away on the road and the mountain ranges that surround Canberra provide a fantastic location for nature lovers and avid bush walkers. 

Canberra is also home to some major institutions, Parliament House in Canberra is perhaps Australia’s most iconic building, build above and below ground it takes pride of place on Capital Hill and is an amazing vista from all angles.  Framed with it’s massive flagpole and the Australian flag this is a must see destination for any visitor.  The War Memorial is also another destination that is a must see, steeped in history it is the site of the national dawn service each year, in 2008 attracting almost 30,000 people a record that keeps getting beaten each year.  Other institutions that are a must see are the National Museum, National Zoo and Aquarium, National Library, National Gallery and Black Mountain Tower, still one of the tallest towers in the world.  Canberra is unfortunately not on most people’s touring schedule when visiting Australia but for those who visit they nearly all leave with the same feeling of quiet wonder at the beauty of the Australian national capital.
