Canberra Holidays Destination
Australian Capital Territory (ACT)
Canberra
with
a
population
of
nearly
300
000
is
Australia's
capital
and
only
major
inland
city.
It
is
unique
in
having
every
detail
of
it's
construction
planned
from
the
beginning,
then
being
built
halfway
between
Sydney
and
Melbourne
after
a
dispute
over
which
would
become
the
nations
capital.
The
nerve
centre
of
Australian
national
government,
is
just
a
three
hour
drive
or
a
45-minute
flight
south-west
of
Sydney.
Set
in
a
broad
valley
in
the
southern
tablelands
of
New
South
Wales,
Canberra
is
a
well-planned
lakeside
city
of
parklands,
impressive
restaurants,
beautiful
bushland
and
leafy
suburbs.
Many of
the
public
buildings
display
some
of
Australia's
most
innovative
architecture
including
those
housing
our
major,
and
most
impressive,
national
attractions.
Just down the road about 2 hours drive is the wonderful Snowy Mountains region, where visitors can enjoy all the delights of an Alpine holiday experience - all year round. |
