Canberra must be the only city in the world where you can encounter crazy marsupials hopping around on their big hind legs (kangaroos!!!). They call Canberra "the bush capital" because it has heaps of nature reserves & bush-clad hills scattered around it... the bush is beautiful but I think that even better is the abundance of bird & animal life that you can encounter throughout the city as a result! Oh yeah and there's the odd interesting landmark too...
