It is roughly 410 miles northeast of the city of Melbourne and the country’s largest inland city to boot. There are 403,468 residents and they are known as Canberrans. In 1908, the location of Canberra was decided upon as a compromise between the country’s two largest cities: Melbourne and Sydney.
What makes this an unusual city here is that it was actually planned out of any actual state like Brasilia in Brazil or the United States capital, Washington, D.C. Australians held a worldwide competition for design concepts for the city. The winning blueprints were those submitted by two American architects named Marion Mahony Griffin and Walter Burley Griffin. Construction crews broke ground in 1913. Today visitors who have an interest in the government of this nation are all sure to see the High Curt, and famous Parliament House, which was built on Capitol Hill. Other places of interest include the National Gallery of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, the National Film and Sound Archive, and the National Zoo and Aquarium.
