Canberra was planned and then built in the 20th-century as the new home to Australia's capital city in response to the rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney, who both competed for this title. Canberra is located about half way between those 2 cities and is Australia's only inland city.
Canberra has more Gardeners and Landscape Artists of any city in the world per head of population. There are native trees lining the streets and there are countless parks. Lake Burleigh Griffin is also surrounded by parks and is near most of the Government Buildings, Embassies and Consulates. Canberra's main tourist attractions are the National Gallery and Parliament House.
Canberra is also a great base for visiting the nearby Snowy Mountains otherwise known as the Australian alps.
