Australian Capital territory-history and modernity

The Australian Capital Territory encompasses only 0.03% of the entire continent, yet it is the political centre of the nation - rich with history and fine examples of modern architecture, art and culture. The Australian Capital Territory has more to offer than just an insight into the political workings of the country, although it does this well. It's a place where Australia's history comes face-to-face with architectural modernity. Located on perhaps some of the best sheep and cattle grazing land in Australia, the national capital is bordered by farmland, bushland, national parks and the Boboyan, Tidbinbilla and Booth ranges. It is completely surrounded by New South Wales and was selected as the site of the national capital in 1909, eight years after Federation. Located inland, the creation of the Australian Capital Territory was a compromise to appease bitter interstate rivalry between New South Wales and Victoria.

The Australian Capital Territory has a diverse range of attractions and sights to suit everyone’s taste.
