As a Canberran myself, I always thought that this city was a bit too boring. But now thanks to this video, I now appreciate it a whole lot more. Cheers Expedia!
Hallo Riley! I live in the Charnwood neighbourhood of Belconnen district, which is the biggest district of Canberra with close to 100,000 inhabitants! I we lived in Adelaide for a while, but Canberra is the most pleasant and tranquil city for me! It is like a huge garden city, where everywhere green areas and a lot of parks! And Canberra is still growing, and will have in just a decade half a million people! Canberra has a lot of uninhabited huge patch of lands, since our capital city is even larger territorialy as Tokyo or London! In a city like Canberra ACT which extent for 88.5 kilometers from north to the south, there is a lot of new space for further development for housing construction etc..
@@smithygog7775 hello, i'm so interested in this city, can i have your email please to ask few questions about it, I don't trust the informations here znd there, i think a local wil give me a better judgement
@@nosseibagacem9014 I would recommend but. A case has been going on around caneberra about a stalker. He is very fast and follows many people. Please be aware.
@@smithygog7775 Hey Smithy, I have alot of questions nd want your help in this . Im interested in belconnen can we share any social media nd email so we can talk further. I hope you will get my text nd you'll accept my request.
This city is extremely beautiful. This has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The green spaces, city layout and impressive buildings in the CBD are remarkably beautiful
I agree with you! Canberra is still tranquil place, a wonderfull city to live and enjoy! Just today I finished a study about the city, entitled: A history of Canberra, a 293 pages study about the development of Canberra! Did you know that Canberra with its 2358 sq km administrative area one of the biggest city on earth? Even bigger than Tokyo, London, Mexico City or Sao Paulo for that matter. And in this vast area only around 400,000 people live! So there is enough space for future development, and one day the city will have between 1.5 to even 2 million people by the year of 2100.
@@smithygog7775 yeah I'm aware of the landmass of Canberra versus the population although those of London and Tokyo are for the core city and not the metropolitan area. Nonetheless, Australian cities are generally well spaced out like Canadian and US cities based on their town planning system. I honestly love very low density but feature packed cities and I find Canberra to be one of my personal favourite best cities on earth as there's so much green spaces, spacious roads and low rise buildings. I certainly would jump at an opportunity to reside and work/do business in Canberra. Other Australian cities I like are Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin and Hobart. I also love Queenstown New Zealand
@@deu8894 Many thanks for your kindly comment! I study Urban Geography and have been on a study trip to Canberra back in 2018 summer! Canberra is unique in its term of physical geography! I never see a city like this! I spend over 6 week to learn more about this planned city! I have a very detailled street-Atlas, published by the ACT government. Yet in terms of population Brisbane is the largest local government( city, municipality) of Australia, having 1.2 million spread on 1343 sq km-measuring about 38 km from the north to the south, and 50 kilometer from west to the east. Now, take this Canberra ACT is exact 88.5 kilometer or 55 miles from the north to the south, and around 40 kilometer or 25 miles from the west to the east, alltogether 2358 sq km. Thats a massive size, and is far bigger than lets said Tokyo, London, Sao Paulo, Mexico City or even Los Angeles or New York. In terms of its area, Canberra is therefore one of the world largest city! Canberra ACT has 19 administrative districts and at least 130 localities, or neighbourhood. Some suburb are so huge, that I feel lost in that huge sprawl! Altough Canberra has an excellent traffic system, you need a car to move around the city because of huge distance between each districts and neighbourhoods! There is a recent figure of 420,960 people living in Canberra, which would grow to half million by 2029 and further to 939,000 by the year 2066. I guess there will be more than 1.3 million in Canberra by the year 2100! There is huge potential for future expansion and housing development within the Canberra ACT. Canberras wealth is rapidly growing day by day and the city is going to be very rich in any aspects! I will write my Phd. dissertation on Canberra very soon, here in Hungary, and will publish to encourage future investment in this city.

I use to hear people say Canberra is also called as dead city in Australia. But I came down there for a day from Sydney, I can proudly say it is one of the most fascinating cities in the world. I drove from airport to Central municipal region and really had caught my emotions there!!
Spent years in Canberra, now living in Melbourne. Still travel back to visit Canberra every year and also investing in Dickson and O'Conor. I love this city and people .
Great.... i was there for almost 2 years, not enough time to explore all the site. great place, nice people. Hope some day can be there again. Thanks Expedia, brough me the memories
SO GLAD AND HAPPY THAT YOU GUYS MADE ANOTHER WONDERFUL HIGH QUALITY VIDEO ON AUSTRALIA. I HAVE WATCHED THEM ALL ABOUT 50 TIMES AS THEY ARE AWESOME, THANKS GUYS KEEP UP THE WORK AND CONSIDER MAKING ONE ON WOLLONGONG
My year six excursion this year around September will be wonderful. Can't wait to visit the war memorial,the museum the man made lake, government houses and questicon. I'm soooooo excited and it's probably going to be one of the most exciting things I have experienced yet and doing it along with my best friends is awesome 😀
"And then head up to the lawn covered roof for sweeping views". They blocked off that part of Parliament House a few years ago. No more running up the grass anymore.
i like canberra.. went there for my year 12 ski trip in the snowy mountains.. the war memorial is the best bit. its honestly so breathtaking there! and the museum is awesome!!
And me I was thinking about moving from UK to Perth. That is... if the covid goes down until then I'm stuck in this trash bin of a country under controversial moron running as prime minister.
As someone who never wanted to move to canberra after living in other Australian capital cities - I have to say now you will never get me to leave the Australian Capital Territory, this city objectively is a beautiful place to live, I tried to look for reasons to hate it but it sucked me in!
Wahh , We should see this first before heading to Canberra, we miss a lot lol Anyway we will coming back to this beautiful city with my family soon I love Australia 😘👍☝️👊👏

Sebaliknya, 01:05 pada tahun 1911, pemerintah melancarkan pertandingan reka bentuk antarabangsa 01:09 mencari rancangan induk untuk bandar baru. 01:14 Pemenang, arkitek Chicago Walter Burley Griffin, 01:18 menang dengan reka bentuk bandar taman yang tertumpu pada tasik buatan manusia yang sangat sesuai di dalamnya 01:23 pemandangan. 01:26 Untuk memahami kejeniusan reka bentuk, kunjungi Mt Ainslie, 01:31 hanya perjalanan singkat dari pusat bandar. 01:38 Pinggir Tasik Burley Griffin adalah rumah bagi Segitiga Parlimen, 01:42 sebuah kawasan yang dipenuhi dengan beberapa bangunan terpenting di Australia 01:46 yang menyusun kisah Australia. 01:51 Parlimen Parlimen, adalah ikon kebangsaan, 01:54 yang langsung dapat dikenali oleh semua orang Australia. 01:58 Seperti bandar itu sendiri, reka bentuknya adalah pemenang pertandingan antarabangsa. 02:04 Walaupun pusat kuasa politik di Australia, 02:07 pendekatannya untuk menyambut pelawat adalah santai. 02:11 Lakukan lawatan dan lihat sejarah semasa ia berlaku, 02:14 dan kemudian menuju ke bumbung yang ditutupi rumput untuk pemandangan yang menyeluruh. 02:20 Tidak lama berjalan kaki adalah Old Parliament House. 02:23 Koridor bangunan tercinta ini adalah kapsul masa 02:26 beberapa momen paling penting di Australia. 02:31 Berjalan ke pejabat Perdana Menteri 02:32 yang sama persis seperti hari kerajaan memindahkan bangunan pada tahun 1988. 02:50 Bangunan yang menempatkan Muzium Nasional Australia, 02:53 dirancang dengan tema teka-teki 02:56 mengaitkan banyak kisah Australia. 03:00 Lihat prototaip Holden, 03:02 Kereta buatan tempatan pertama di Australia 03:04 dan hati Phar Lap yang sangat besar, 03:07 kuda lumba Australia yang menangkap imaginasi seluruh negara. 03:21 Sepanjang sejarahnya, 03:22 beberapa watak telah menangkap imaginasi Australia, 03:25 seperti penjahatnya yang paling terkenal, Ned Kelly. 03:30 Pergi ke Galeri Nasional Australia untuk melihat 03:32 Siri bushranger Sidney Nolan 03:36 Tetapi untuk gambaran sebenar mengenai hakikat tanah ini, 03:39 luangkan masa di tengah-tengah karya yang menakjubkan 03:42 sebilangan artis peribumi terkemuka di negara ini. 03:51 Lawati Galeri Potret Nasional untuk menikmati koleksi yang menakjubkan 03:55 potret orang Australia yang terkenal 03:57 yang telah naik ke puncak ladang mereka. 04:00 Dari duo berbakat di belakang syarikat kuasa fesyen antarabangsa Sass and Bide, 04:05 kepada Andy Thomas, angkasawan paling terkenal di negara ini, 04:08 gambar-gambar ini menceritakan beribu-ribu kisah. 04:13 Lebih banyak kisah luar biasa menanti, di Perpustakaan Negara. 04:16 Lihat buku harian Kapten Cook yang menemaninya dalam perjalanan bersejarah pertamanya ke Australia. 04:24 Pada tahun 1770, Cook menuntut tanah selatan yang hebat ini untuk England, 04:28 membuka bab Eropah dalam sejarah negara. 04:33 Lebih dari 100 tahun kemudian, Komanwel Australia ditubuhkan. 04:42 Pada masa-masa tertentu dalam setahun Arkib Negara Australia 04:46 paparkan perlembagaan asal, yang ditandatangani oleh Ratu Victoria. 04:53 Mungkin monumen paling kuat di kota cerita ini, 04:56 adalah Peringatan Perang Australia -

I went to Canberra when I was in year 7 in 2014. I had a great time, and we even went in snow though I'm not sure where we went to see snow. I wouldent mind going again I think it's an underrated city. The main reason I want to go again is because of the nature reserves and Namadgi national park.
the question shouldn't be "why would you go to Australia?" but rather "why would you want travel anywhere else other than Australia?....maybe apart from New Zealand 😁" Seriously though, it's not as dangerous a place as people make out, it's just that a lot of it is very minimally populated (large regions where it's unsustainable to have cities of people) but as a result those parts are particularly jam packed full of spectacular natural vistas. I'm lucky to have a reserve on my side doorstep (that ironically 'snakes' under 2 intersecting freeways) and while I'm sure there are snakes there I haven't yet seen any and as long as I walk carefully (by making a bit of noise while walking in any long grass) I may not actually see any there for years to come. Most snakes don't tend to inhabit the water, and those that do are in tropical climates (in places such Darwin or in the state of Queensland). I have seen Kangaroos there, albeit only on a few occassions and only 2 pairs of them. Also, the vast majority of spiders in Australia aren't really dangerous to humans (including most of the large ones). And for anyone who hasn't actually seen an Australian possum in Australia I'm happy to say that they look incredibly different from their American relatives (particularly Australian ringtail possums, that making light twittering voice and who look adorable, and even the brushtail possums (that at times exchange threatening sounding noises towards each other) are amazing looking and acting creatures). I do however completely understand why many New Zealanders don't like them, but that's because they were an introduced species to New Zealand and as such along with rats and stoats have sadly had as big an impact on New Zealand's native fauna and general local ecosystem in general as the impact that rats, cats, feral foxes and cane toads have had on Australia's native ecosystem (albeit via varying ways). I spent my early years growing up in the bush and I never once got bitten by a spider or in fact stung by anything, but within a month of moving down to the suburbs I got stung by a bee and then by a wasp (both being species that were introduced to Australia and are not native). Something that Australia has which relatively few other countries have is a large variety of natural wonders, both on land and in the water, and also a range of very different climates in different parts of the country. But as amazing as the natural landscape is the amount of deforestation and increased suburban sprawl I the major cities over the past 5 decades has been immense, and only become faster with the turn of the 21st century. Our reefs are quickly changing (most of which is irrevocable) and most people (including most farmers) agree that more needs to be done to decrease the amount of chemical 'run-off' that exists in some major river systems (including some that feed out onto sections of the Great Barrier Reef) and to minimise currently rising sea temperatures. Such places will forever remain amazing, but we do need to do what we can to ensure that they and countless other natural environments the world over are protected by us as much as is possible.
So the reason why Canberra was formed is because there were arguments on whether Sydney or Melbourne should be the capital so Sydney was like “I’m the capital city!” but Melbourne is like “NO! I’m the capital city” and the two were berating and arguing each other and to settle this dispute to make both these cities stop arguing they form the city Canberra and have it become the capital city of Australia.

Canberra is a boring place for young people but for people who are more than 50 years old and seek tranquility, peace and beautiful landscapes it is ideal..additionally for those who like to ski, the snow is near ..
I've lived in Canberra my entire life so obviously I get a bit fucking bored sometimes but I think it's well worth a visit to check out the war memorial and just have a stroll around the city. It is pretty beautiful in some places.
