Canberra is approximately a three-hour drive south west of Sydney.

Aboriginals were the first people to live in the area, and that is how it got its name, Canberra is said to be an old aboriginal word meaning, "meeting place". It was built around a man made lake, so even though the ocean is not there, there are plenty of places to swim and suntan. Canberras main sport is cycling, so if you are an active cyclist, you will want to join the stream of people riding through the bike trails, parks, streets and hills.
The ACT is a very popular tourist spot, and many of the tourists are employed in places such as hotels, restaurants and tour bus companies. If you are not working there however, it is usually sufficient to only spend a few days in the city cover the things you will want to see and do.
