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\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>Over 100 years later, that destiny has been fulfilled in a city that preserves the great chapters of Australia\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it. <\/p>\n<p>More travel information around Canberra: https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Canberra.dx6049663<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to Expedia\u2019s YouTube Channel for great travel videos and join the conversation on the best vacation ideas. <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on social media:<br \/>\nFACEBOOK: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expedia<br \/>\nTWITTER: https:\/\/twitter.com\/Expedia<br \/>\nINSTAGRAM: https:\/\/instagram.com\/expedia\/<br \/>\nPINTEREST: https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/expedia<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>0:00 &#8211; Canberra<br \/>\n0:52 &#8211; Lake Burley Griffin<br \/>\n1:25 &#8211; Mt Ainslie<br \/>\n1:38 &#8211; Parliamentary Triangle<br \/>\n1:51 &#8211; Parliament House<br \/>\n2:19 &#8211; Old Parliament House<br \/>\n2:49 &#8211; National Museum of Australia<br \/>\n3:20 &#8211; National Gallery of Australia<br \/>\n3:51 &#8211; National Portrait Gallery<br \/>\n4:13 &#8211; National Library<br \/>\n4:42 &#8211; National Archives of Australia<br \/>\n4:52 &#8211; Australian War Memorial<br \/>\n5:58 &#8211; Braddon<br \/>\n6:22 &#8211; National Dinosaur Museum<br \/>\n6:34 &#8211; Royal Australian Mint<br \/>\n6:49 &#8211; Questacon<br \/>\n7:10 &#8211; Telstra Tower<br \/>\n7:30 &#8211; Floriade<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Sj-VzFlJ14o\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canberra \u2013 Purpose built as Australia\u2019s capital city, Canberra is a 3-hour drive from both the snowy mountains and the beautiful beaches of New South Wales.
