REGION: Canberra
Canberra is widely acclaimed as the best landscaped city in the world. Its geometrically circular street pattern, set around key urban planning elements, is complemented by millions of trees and shrubs, which give the city its ambience. Canberra is planned around Lake Burley Griffin and a 'parliamentary triangle' consisting of Parliament House, the High Court and other important public buildings. It extends more than 40km from the satellite towns of Tuggeranong in the south to Gungahlin in the north. The best way to explore Canberra is by car, but make sure you have a good map. Canberra is Australia's National Capital and therefore has a good selection of accommodation, hotels, tours and attractions for holiday makers or business travellers alike.
