Canberra Travel Guide
As the nation's capital, Canberra is often maligned by outsiders, who associate the city with poor decisions made by greedy politicians. The reality is vastly different, however. Canberra is Australian through and through, and those who live here will tell you that to know Canberra is to love it.
Canberra gives an overall impression of spaciousness, serenity, and almost unnatural order. There are no advertising billboards, no strident colors, and very few buildings more than a dozen stories high. Framing the city are the separate areas of wooded hills and dry grasslands comprising Canberra Nature Park, which fills in much of the terrain just outside the suburban areas.
