Canberra
Canberra is a city of about 400,000 people which has, since 1927, been Australia’s capital. It’s a planned city which was built largely to the designs of the Burley-Griffins. I’ve visited just once as an adult, in 2021. I had previously visited as a three-year-old, and remember basically nothing except how much I loooooved Floriade. Modern-day Canberra sits on the traditional land of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples.
