Canberra is small as for the capital. It has about 300 thousand citizens. Most of them work in all kind of offices, starting from the goverment, organisations, institutions or diplomatic missions. What is very interesting Canberra was disigned artificially at the beginning of XX century. It is said that Sydnay and Melbourn had an argument about which of them should be the capital city. Finally, Canberra has been built on the way from Sydney to Melbourn or vice versa. Some people believe that the places shows that Sydney had and has a stronger positions as canberra is much closer to Sydney than to Melbourne.

The view on Canberra from the roof of the New Parliament.
The native people in Australia are Aborigens - propably the oldest group in the world. Now you can meet them near the "old" parliament where they have their permanet tent embassies. From this place all their requests to the government are coming from.

Hello, Piotr! You had good luck when you were able to pay a visit! Great! Thanx for your story...
Thanks for Canberra
Interesting information on aborigines celebrations, nice pictures.
G'day Piotr. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Canberra, it shows through in your page. Canberra might lack the "glitz" of some places, but I'd consider that a "positive". It deserves a much better image than some people give it.
Hi Piotr! How did you manage to spend a whole month in Canberra?? Most people get bored after just 2-3 days. Glad you enjoyed.
Interesting travel page with nice pictures! Greetings!
