The nation's capital has become, during its few decades of existence, a surprisingly vibrant hub of Australia's political life. Even more surprisingly - to many - it has also become one of the country's best destinations for culture, the arts and sports, and, thanks to Burley Griffin's visionary design, is in one of the best inland settings of any major Australian city. All Canberra's key attractions and activities are detailed in this new guide for visitors and residents alike. Illustrated throughout with full-colour photography, and with accompanying navigational maps, every destination is described and detailed to ensure minimum time is wasted and maximum time spent enjoying the sights and things to do.
