Canberra is the capital city of Australia and is home to many of Australia’s most important public buildings, art works and institutions. It’s also a great place to enjoy a well-planned city with its parks, gardens and surrounds. The city’s design was heavily influenced by the garden city movement and incorporates significant areas of natural vegetation that have earned Canberra the title "bush capital". As the seat of the government of Australia, Canberra is the site of Parliament House, the High Court of Australia and numerous government departments. Canberra's art showpiece is the National Gallery of Australia. Additionally, works are displayed at the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House and the Nolan Gallery to name just a few. The surrounding region offers more than 30 wineries, historic townships, beautiful coastlines and the famous Snowy Mountains.
