Canberra and Surrounds

Canberra - the political epicentre of the nation and one of the world's great cities. This beautiful city offers residents and visitors a lifestyle unrivalled by other Australian capitals.

Canberra has all the benefits of a cosmopolitan city, yet offers unique benefits in that it is only a two-hour drive to the South Coast and to numerous resorts in the magnificent Snowy Mountains which offer excellent skiing, fishing and bushwalking.

Shopping opportunities in Canberra are vast and unique in that it may be the easiest place to shop in the world. Ranging from leading department stores and fashion boutiques to market bric-a-brac and craft works straight from the studio also at hand. The main shopping centres are located in each of the major regional town centres of Woden, Canberra City, Tuggeranong, and Belconnen, all with major department and specialty stores.
