Canberra the Australian Capital CityCanberra is the capital city of Australia, purposely planned and built as the base for the Federal Government. Certainly a beautiful city, with tree lined avenues and outstanding architecture, Canberra has a quiet sophistication and charm, yet is a busy city with many things to do, places to visit and attractions to see. Here we showcase some of the major attractions of Canberra, arranged tours that may be booked online and hotel, motel accommodation.
There are many things to do and unique places to see while in Canberra and a trip to Parliament House is almost mandatory for all visitors. Entry is free, being owned by the people of Australia, and the House is open from 9.00am to 5.00pm daily. Old Parliament House is another attraction that is great to see and has guided tours available. The original parliament house served the Australian Government between 1927 to 1988. Today Old Parliament House is a reminder of our past and houses valuable memories, artifacts and is a museum of Australia's social and political history.
