Australia’s federal district is enclaved within NSW, like a jewel set in gold. It is defined by the dynamism of Canberra, a bunch of idyllic townships, surrounding patchwork farmlands and dense mountainous tracts of the Namadgi National Park.  

Geographically positioned in the south-east, on the east coast of Australia, ACT is bounded by the watershed of Naas Creek to the south, the watershed of the Cotter River in the west, and the watershed of the Molonglo River in the north-east. It has a population of 397,397, with a majority residing in Canberra.

The mouth-watering food and select wine beg indulgence. Museums and galleries display the national art treasure. And treelined streets hobble alongside islands of parks. The outdoors are resplendent with colour as the four seasons unfold, and hot air ballooning is a recommended pastime. Bywong showcases a replica of an old mining town settlement and is a fine tourist attraction. The Murrumbidgee River offers opportunities for water-sporting and leisure.

A plethora of choices exist for interconnectivity and road, rail and air links keep the region well-connected. By road, ACT sits comfortably, a mere three-hour drive away from Sydney, and a seven-hour drive from Melbourne.
