Canberra is Australia's national capital city. A unique planned city, it offers a high quality of life with clean air, lots of green spaces, lakes and excellent healthcare and education. It's a major seat of government and a research centre - home to top universities like the ANU. Canberra also boasts a vibrant cultural scene: it has the National Gallery of Australia (pictured) for example, has museums, festivals, with easy access to outdoor adventures, making it ideal for a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle for singles, couples and families alike. The airport in Canberra is one of the busiest in the country with many connections to the rest of the country - a 1hr flight to Sydney, for example.
