The Australian Capital Territory houses Canberra, Australia&rsquo;s capital, built between Sydney and Melbourne in the early 20th century. The federal district&rsquo;s forest, farmland and nature reserves earn Canberra its nickname, the "Bush Capital.&rdquo; The city's focal point is Lake Burley Griffin, filled with sailboats and kayaks. On opposite shores are the grand Australian War Memorial and the massive, strikingly modern Parliament House.
