Panaramic view of Canberra


From the top of Mt Ansilie: In the foreground is a domed structure which is the Australian War Museum.
The reddish-brown vertical region in the center of the picture is the ANZAC Parade avenue.
The lake is named Burley Griffin Lake – named after the American who designed the city of Canberra.
Next large white building is the Old Parliament Building. Just beyond that is a structure which is harder to see. It has a triangular flag pole above it and is covered by grass. This is the new Parliament Building. The hill that it is on is called Capital Hill.

Canberra is located in the Australian Capital Territory which roughly corresponds to our District of Columbia.
