Canberra is the capital city of the Commonwealth of Australia. 

With a population of over 332,000, it is Australia's largest inland city.

The city is located at the northern end of the Australian Capital Territory, 280 km (174 mi) south-west of Sydney, 
and 650 km (404 mi) north-east of Melbourne. 

The site of Canberra was selected for the location of the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between 
Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities. It is unusual among Australian cities, being an entirely purpose-built, 
planned city. 

Following an international contest for the city's design, a design by the Chicago architects Walter Burley Griffin and 
Marion Mahony Griffin was selected and construction commenced in 1913. 

The city's design was heavily influenced by the garden city movement and incorporates significant areas of 
natural vegetation that have earned Canberra the title "bush capital". 

Although the growth and development of Canberra were hindered by the World Wars and the Great Depression, 
it emerged as a thriving city after World War II.

As the seat of the government of Australia, Canberra is the site of Parliament House, the High Court of Australia and 
numerous government departments and agencies. It is also the location of many social and cultural institutions of 
national significance, such as the National Gallery of Australia and the National Museum of Australia. 

The federal government contributes the largest percentage of Gross State Product and is the largest single 
employer in Canberra.
