Touring the Well Planned City of Canberra

Canberra is the capital city of Australia. It is just a 3 hour drive from Sydney. There is a story behind how this beautiful city became so well planned and built beautifully. It all began with the tug of war between Melbourne and Sydney to become the capital of Australia. After a heated debate over the issue they decided to make Canberra as the official capital of Australia in 1908.

After instating Canberra as the capital, officials asked architects to come up with a design for the new capital. It was Burley Griffin who got the opportunity to renovate the city. For tourists who are visiting this place there are numerous museums in the city to understand the historical heritage of the country. Hotel Canberra provides cozy and comfortable stay for the visitors. Canberra is known as “bush city” due to the lush and green areas that is exquisitely designed into the city plan.
