The ACT was established as a home for Australia's capital city Canberra in 1913. As the political heartland of Australia, it is Australia's only landlocked territory and despite being small, it is packed with plenty to see and do. Whether it is paying respects at Australia's war memorial, getting up close and personal with Parliament house, wandering the shores of Lake Burleigh Griffin or having some fun at Questacon there is appeal for both young and old.
