Canberra is the eighth largest city in Australia. It is 238 km from Sydney and 507 km from Melbourne. Melbourne was once the capital of Australia. Sydney people also wished to make their city the capital. It was difficult for the government (政府) to choose. Then in 1911 the government chose a place to build the new capital. It was between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities. In 1927 the city became the capital and was named Canberra. “Canberra” means “a place for friends to get together.”
Canberra is a beautiful city with trees and flowers everywhere. There’s a flower festival in September each year. People can enjoy all kinds of beautiful flowers and welcome the spring to arrive. A man-made lake, Lake Bertey Griffin, is in the centre of the city. It’s about 25 km long. People like to ride bikes, walk or run around the lake. In Canberra there are many famous universities like the Australian National University and the University of Canberra. The National Library and the National Museum of Australia are also famous places that people like to visit.
