Canberra ACT Australia With Tourist MapSee map Canberra Tourist Map - Canberra Weather ACT. Pronounced ‘Can-bra’. The city was designed and founded partially to end the bickering between Melbourne and Sydney as being the real capital of Australia. The city is scenic, surrounded by the mountains, farmlands and natural parks. An international competition was held to choose the best design and won by the architect Walter Burley Griffin in 1912, with building commencing the next year. Griffin envisioned the city to be spacious and low level, centered on Lake Burley Griffin. The lake itself is bordered by splendid parklands, making the city more than the political and diplomatic centre of the country, but an attraction in itself.
