I have been surprised to find out that some people don't know that Canberra is the capital of Australia... I guess since Sydney is the most publicised city that it is asumed to be the capital.
Canberra is a very tidy city, everything has it's place and is well planned. There are a lot of things to see in Canberra and it is a nice place to visit...
I actually visit Canberra to go shopping or meet up with friends & go out...we always find a fun pub or place to go... But I've also been there to show my overseas friends around and see some of the touristy areas. :)

Wow!! Didn't know you were a p-baller!! I myself, am always looking for new places to meet people, and shoot them. My hubby and I also used to referee the games...not just crazy enough to get in a gunfight, but to stand up in the middle...yeehaw
G'Day Sherie, Wow are you a good photographer, I love the long exposure of the stars, simply marvelous yoou should have that on your intro page where everyone can see it!! Beautiful!! Kat
Your Canberra section is so good I'm not going to bother working on mine for a while!
LOvely page.
Great page on Canberra. The coach tour I had there from Sydney just gave me such a small taste of what the city was all about. Thanks for sharing your pics and tips.
I knew it was the capital, but didn't know how the city was, thanx for showing it, it's got a lot to see!!
Here in Croatia we all know that Canberra is the capital, but that's because we all have relatives down there :-)))
I thought that Canberra was a pleasant surprise. I really liked it. Unfortunately the new parliament buildings were not open yet when I visited.
when will I visit Australia, god knows..in the meantime I have fellows Vters working hard on their pages..like you :)
Another great page with lovely photos and comments -- thanks a bunch!
