ACT
Canberra
Canberra - it's the capital of Australia. It is sometimes called 'the bush capital' because pockets of bushland reserve extend almost to the city centre and over half our land is classified as national park or nature reserve.
 The national government sits here. The highest court of the land sits here. Many of the most important monuments in the country are here, and they're visited by millions of Australians (and quite a lot of people from other countries) every year. So, as well as visiting Sydney and the 'outback', why not spend some time in Canberra and see yet another side of Australia.
Canberra is a young capital in a young country, but it does have parallels with other leading cities of the world. For example, Canberra, like Paris, is a planned city. Just as the Baron Haussmann laid out the boulevards of the French capital in the time of the Empire, or as the French architect L'Enfant designed Washington to be a showpiece of civic architecture, so Canberra's streets were laid out in accordance with a grand scheme. Like Washington's Capitol, our Parliament House occupies the central hill, with the city planned around dramatic north/south and east/west axes.
