Australian Capital Territory Travel Guide

Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is Australia's smallest territory, and its rugged bushland is home to the nation's pristine capital city, Canberra. Canberra retains its own distinct atmosphere having evolved from quiet bushland home for bureaucrats and politicians to a buzzing city offering multicultural cuisine, national treasures such as the National Gallery, thumping festivals and an active student population.

Australian Capital Territory features historic homesteads, parks and hills, thick bushland, wineries and wildlife parks. Half of the territory is protected by way of national park or nature reserves; the Snowy Mountains, jutting out of nearby New South Wales, are a brilliant border to the territory's picture-perfect scene.
