Canberra is a man-created city, which is situated on the banks of man-created lake. The lake got its name by its creator Burly Griffin. Canberra was built for reconciliation Melbourne and Sydney, which both wanted to be the capital of Australia. To stop all disputes and contentions, the government has made courageous decision to construct new city on an empty place on a way between these two cities. Having considered huge number of projects, the government has selected Burly Griffin's most original and harmonious project. Owing to surprisingly correct layout considering all of feature of a landscape, where it has been built, the city became the indispensable sample in all textbooks on town planning. This stylish modern city amazes all with its reasonableness.

Nowadays Canberra is the capital of Australia, a city, which carries out the unique function - management. The House of Parliament, a residence of embassies, headquarters of the public, state and political organizations have settled down here. However, head offices of the largest industrial companies still settle down not in Canberra, but in the main industrial centers, such as Sydney, Melbourne or Perth.

Canberra is sometimes named “Truly Natural Capital”, because it is surrounded from different directions and places with Australian bushes and looks like a small - small town in the middle of extensive rural spaces. Nearby to the south from Canberra there are Snow Mountains, the main and unique mounting skiing resort of Australia, where Tredbo is located. Canberra is a tiny and small town, therefore it is possible to examine it practically for one day, that’s why very few people stop here for the night. Basically those, who travel by car or buses from Melbourne to Sydney, do it. The most rational way to visit Canberra is to make one-day bus excursion by duration of 14 hours from Sydney. The bus goes from Sydney up to Canberra 4 and a half of an hour, therefore even delegations which meet the colleagues in Canberra, usually live in Sydney.
