Travel Info What makes Canberra unique from all the other cities in Austalia? Travel Tips Its unique because its the capital city thats gets payed out by its own people who mostly have never even been to the city. Its a great place to live and people just say its boring cause all the pollies are here and most Canberrans couln't give a rats *** about them. Others It is only capital not on the coast line its full of ***-holes It was designed and built in one go, rather than developing over the years as most cities do. It's the most boring city in Australia by far. It has a manmade lake named after the middle name and surname of the architect (Burley Griffin), which is weird enough. The woman who publicly announced the result of the competition to name the new city (I think it was the Governor General's wife) mispronounced it as CanBERRa instead of the correct CANberra. Plus, it's powered by hot air from all the pollies. Most of the land belongs to the Crown (i.e. the Queen) and can only be leased, not bought. That enough? Cause its the capital of australia - full of students, public servants and politicians. I honestly love the place - cant wait to go back and visit or live one day - I love the weather from one extreme to the next. I love the streets lined with different shades of trees. Its not too busy, hectic or chaotic like the other cities in australia. People are more friendly and less discriminative. What more could you say - plenty actually The other cities where all built because they were near something - usually the sea and that was good for trade. Canberra was built for the sole purpose of being the country's captial. (And on a sheep paddock no less which makes it internationally unique...) It is a 'peacemaking' city because it stopped (well, put a stop formally, the arguement still goes on) the fight between Sydney and Melbourne as to who should be capital. It always amazes me that it's residents manage to stay awake in the most boreing city in the world . The highlight of Canberra is the road out of town . It is even too boreing for Jonny Howard to live there !!! |
