Canberra is best known as Australia’s national capital and the seat of Australian Government. One of the world’s few planned cities, Canberra is home to national institutions and attractions that tell the story of a nation. These institutions, along with some of Australia’s leading academic and knowledge centres, provide access to many of Australia’s most exciting and innovative industry and research leaders.
One of the world’s few planned cities, Canberra’s special contrast of nature and urban living was designed in 1912 by Walter Burley Griffin, a Chicago architect who won an international competition to design Australia’s capital. Canberra will celebrate its Centenary in 2013.Fast Facts
