Canberra is the capital city of Australia and is considered to be the most well planned city in the world. In 1908 American architect Walter Burley Griffin won a competition to design the capital city of Australia. The artificial lake that divides the city today bears his name. All roads in Canberra seem to lead to the Parliament House. Canberra is a growing hub of activity. It offers a good selection of restaurants and cafes and what seems like an endless number of attractions and things to do. Canberra is perfectly located for business or pleasure close to Parliament House, the National Art Gallery and many of the city's most popular cafes, restaurants & boutiques.
