Canberra is located in the Australian Capital Territory on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, and was conceived
in the early 1900s in order to create a capital city in a federal State separate from any of the uniting States. Spectacular
green countryside is ringed by mountains nearly 600m (2000ft) above sea level. Lake Burley-Griffin, a humanmade lake, is the
centrepiece of this constantly expanding modern capital. Hills, trees and greenery remain prominent among the architecture
of a city that is attractive, tidy, spacious and efficient as befits the national capital city.
