Living in Canberra
With a population of about 350,000 people, Canberra is one of the most convenient and pleasant cities in which to live. Canberra offers a fantastic lifestyle for you and your family, with an outstanding school system, excellent health services, shorter commuting times, plenty of fresh air and community living. Much of what is best about Australia can be found in the nation's capital – it is a clean, safe and relaxed place to live.
Canberra is under an hour’s flight time to Sydney and Melbourne and is close to both beaches and snowfields. There are spacious parks and lakes that provide great opportunities for outdoor sport and recreation. There is an excellent public transport system, while the roads are first-rate with almost non-existent traffic delays.
