Canberra, derived from the Aboriginal word meaning 'meeting place', is a city where many cultures meet. You have the indigenous people, the native Australians, and the immigrants from the United Kingdom and New Zealand, Germany, and Italy, as well as the recent migrants from Asia. Be ready with your multilingual skills as you will encounter people who speak Chinese, Greek, and Croatian as second languages. The result is a happy mix of people who embrace foreign cultures with a can-do attitude.
Canberra is a well-planned city, which makes for great activities for either the mountain varieties or the beach kind. You can go mountain biking and hit the ski slopes, or you can go to the beach and do your thing! Indeed, with Canberra you can bear life in the perfect balance of peace and adventure!
