Canberra is a city which honors Australia’s past and shapes its future, yet #Canberra is far more than a political capital.

At the heart of Canberra’s creation story is Lake Burley Griffin. In 1911, the government launched an international design competition seeking a master plan for a brand new city. The victor, Chicago architect Walter Burley Griffin, won with a garden city design focused on a man-made lake which fits perfectly within the landscape. When, the nation’s Governor General stood in a dusty paddock in 1913 and announced the name of the new capital, he told the nation that the city had, lying before it, a splendid destiny.

Over 100 years later, that destiny has been fulfilled in a city that preserves the great chapters of Australia’s history and continues on to the next. #Vacation here to become a part of it, and keep the memories of your #visit for your own story.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

    I use to hear people say Canberra is also called as dead city in Australia. But I came down there for a day from Sydney, I can proudly say it is one of the most fascinating cities in the world. I drove from airport to Central municipal region and really had caught my emotions there!!

    Canberra.

    Everything closes at 5 PM, except a few pubs infested with violent alcoholic bogans.

    Every public place is filled with cigarette smoke, so it's great if you like bogans giving everyone cancer.

    It's a small country town, but greedy real estate agents want to charge big city rents.

    It's a small country town, but restaurant dining is more expensive than in big cities.

    I went to Canberra when I was in year 7 in 2014. I had a great time, and we even went in snow though I'm not sure where we went to see snow. I wouldent mind going again I think it's an underrated city. The main reason I want to go again is because of the nature reserves and Namadgi national park.

  6. Frink Fronk says:

    'captain Cook claimed the land for England'. How very imperial of you Expedia. Funny how this video doesn't have one mention of the indigenous people.. Or the part their genocide played in our history. No mention of the aboriginal tent embassy. No mention of what the word Canberra even means..

  7. CHILL HOP ZONE says:

    the question shouldn't be "why would you go to Australia?" but rather "why would you want travel anywhere else other than Australia?….maybe apart from New Zealand 😁"

    Seriously though, it's not as dangerous a place as people make out, it's just that a lot of it is very minimally populated (large regions where it's unsustainable to have cities of people) but as a result those parts are particularly jam packed full of spectacular natural vistas. I'm lucky to have a reserve on my side doorstep (that ironically 'snakes' under 2 intersecting freeways) and while I'm sure there are snakes there I haven't yet seen any and as long as I walk carefully (by making a bit of noise while walking in any long grass) I may not actually see any there for years to come. Most snakes don't tend to inhabit the water, and those that do are in tropical climates (in places such Darwin or in the state of Queensland). I have seen Kangaroos there, albeit only on a few occassions and only 2 pairs of them.

    Also, the vast majority of spiders in Australia aren't really dangerous to humans (including most of the large ones). And for anyone who hasn't actually seen an Australian possum in Australia I'm happy to say that they look incredibly different from their American relatives (particularly Australian ringtail possums, that making light twittering voice and who look adorable, and even the brushtail possums (that at times exchange threatening sounding noises towards each other) are amazing looking and acting creatures). I do however completely understand why many New Zealanders don't like them, but that's because they were an introduced species to New Zealand and as such along with rats and stoats have sadly had as big an impact on New Zealand's native fauna and general local ecosystem in general as the impact that rats, cats, feral foxes and cane toads have had on Australia's native ecosystem (albeit via varying ways).

    I spent my early years growing up in the bush and I never once got bitten by a spider or in fact stung by anything, but within a month of moving down to the suburbs I got stung by a bee and then by a wasp (both being species that were introduced to Australia and are not native).

    Something that Australia has which relatively few other countries have is a large variety of natural wonders, both on land and in the water, and also a range of very different climates in different parts of the country.
    But as amazing as the natural landscape is the amount of deforestation and increased suburban sprawl I the major cities over the past 5 decades has been immense, and only become faster with the turn of the 21st century. Our reefs are quickly changing (most of which is irrevocable) and most people (including most farmers) agree that more needs to be done to decrease the amount of chemical 'run-off' that exists in some major river systems (including some that feed out onto sections of the Great Barrier Reef) and to minimise currently rising sea temperatures.

    Such places will forever remain amazing, but we do need to do what we can to ensure that they and countless other natural environments the world over are protected by us as much as is possible.

  9. Lexus Driver says:

    So the reason why Canberra was formed is because there were arguments on whether Sydney or Melbourne should be the capital so Sydney was like “I’m the capital city!” but Melbourne is like “NO! I’m the capital city” and the two were berating and arguing each other and to settle this dispute to make both these cities stop arguing they form the city Canberra and have it become the capital city of Australia.

  10. CMDR Pete says:

    The Australian Government does not work for the people. It works for the global elites, the mega corporations and the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about in 1961
