It's one of the only places in Australia where you can go on a Hot Air Balloon ride. Canberra is known as Australia’s capital city and sometimes affectionately called The Bush capital for its sweeping nature reserves and surrounding mountain ranges. But it’s not often asked how the city got its name.
For more than 21,000 years, the Ngunnawal people, the original custodians of the land, considered the Canberra region their home. So it comes as no surprise that its name is derived from their language. Canberra supposedly means either “meeting place” or “women’s breasts.” Though the former makes the most sense, a view of the famous Mt Ainslie and Black Mountain gives some veracity to the later.
Canberra is renowned for being a 100% renewable energy city with approximately 70% of the ACT dedicated to nature parks. Set yourself the challenge on a visit to Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve to spot five famous native Australian animals that call the area home: the koala, platypus, kangaroo, emu and wombat.
