Location
CANBERRA
Located on the ancient lands of the Indigenous Ngunnawal people, Canberra’s name is thought to mean ‘meeting place’, derived from the Aboriginal word Kamberra.
Canberra is located in the Australian Capital Territory, which is surrounded by New South Wales. Our nation’s capital is a thriving city with beautiful scenery and countryside incorporated into the city. There is plenty to do and see in Canberra and great places to eat and socialise.
See the essence of Australia’s culture, history and way of life reflected in the national museums, galleries and institutions in Canberra. These national attractions hold and share the treasures of our nation, offering an intriguing insight into Australian character and democracy, and our journey from an Indigenous continent to a modern multicultural nation. Take some time to visit the many museums.
Visiting Canberra is going to be a joy. With fantastic scenery, great people and much to do and see you’re are in for a very special treat. Floriade, a world class floral spectacular www.floriadeaustralia.com, is an event that envelops the TEM conference dates.
