I think a lot of people forget that Canberra is the capital city, it is that small and quiet! Ask most people, and they would probably say Sydney... by Collingwood21

Oooh, Ah, Canberra
Review of Canberra (Australia) by zoe_page

Advantages: 'Interesting', note the inverted commas
Disadvantages: Long way from anywhere civilised

I like to go all out when I travel, and since I've made it all the way to Australia (and, incredibly, managed to get someone else to pay for it all under the pretence that it's a business trip) I'm keen to take advantage of my temporary location and see i ... Read review

Artificial Capital
Review of Canberra (Australia) by mgrigsby

Advantages: Interesting for a day trip
Disadvantages: No atmosphere or character

A three hour drive from Sydney will find you in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), a territory in Australia surrounded entirely by New South Wales. There is not much in ACT apart from Canberra, Australia's capital city, designed in 1912 by Walter Bu ... Read review

A superb opinion. Your title of "Artificial Capital" seems to agree with what I have read about Canberra in Bill Bryson's Down Under. I would love to visit Australia - would really like to go to Sydney and Melbourne. :) Cheers, James. by Disillusioned
