Car Hire Touring Information
CANBERRA,
capital of Australia arid seat of Federal Government, is a
model metropolis. Planned for spaciousness and style, its
unique concentric circular streets are set graciously on the
shores of Lake Burley Griffin and surrounded by rolling hills
The
cultural as well as the political life of the country is on
show in Canberra. This small city, with a population of only
340 800, claims some of the nation’s most significant
institutions, including a magnificent art gallery and
one of the best war museums in the world. Grand public buildings
and monuments, many architecturally renowned, complement the
order and beauty of the city’s original design.
Many
visitors come to see the national collections or to see federal
politics in action, but Canberra has much more to offer. It
has superb parklands and thousands of hectares of natural
bush-land to explore, cool-climate wineries and top class
restaurants, a full calendar of cultural and sporting events,
and excellent attractions for children.
