Canberra

Canberra is often described by Australians who haven't been there as a boring town, full of politicians, bureaucrats - and not much else. But those who go there find beautiful galleries and museums clustered around a lake and cupped in bushland.

Canberra Weather

Canberra's a chilly little place. It basks in some good old-fashioned Aussie sun during the summer months (December to February) and Autumn is clear and cool - but the winters can bite, often with frosty mornings and bright, clear afternoons. Spring can be damp.
