About Canberra

With a population of over 350,000 Canberra has excellent facilities and services. Many people come from all over Australia to live and work in the nation's capital and to experience the unique lifestyle it has to offer.

Canberra offers all the services and lifestyle of a world-class capital city – without the traffic. The stylish café and restaurant culture could see you dining in a different location every night of the week. There is also more to Canberra than politics and Parliament House. Canberra has a wide range of sporting events and competitions, lots of open space and a year-round program of special events – from Summernats to Floriade, Multicultural Festival to the Canberra Balloon Fiesta.

Canberra can boast many major cultural attractions including the National Gallery, Australian War Memorial and the National Museum.

Canberra is centrally located within only a three hour drive to Sydney, approximately 150 kilometres from the NSW South Coast and a 50 minute flight from Melbourne. It is close to the Snowy Mountains ski fields, which are within easy reach by car or bus.
