Canberra is the National Capital of Australia. Situated approximately 200 kilometres south of Sydney, it is not only Australia's political centre but also a centre of arts. There you will be able to find the National Gallery of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House and the Nolan Gallery to name just a few. The city of Canberra is simply beautiful. Its countryside also offers a surprising landscape of high plateaus, thick forest and grasslands dotted often with wildflowers and roamed by hundreds of kangaroos. Blessed with a relatively cooler weather its surrouding regions also produce some of the finest wines in Australia.
