Canberra is the nerve centre of Australian national government, and 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.
Canberra, while quite a business like style of destination, can also be a wonderful and interesting stopover holiday destination, worth a 2 day visit. It is especially interesting destination for families, where kids can enjoy the many historical museums that document much of Australia's federation history.
Canberra 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.
