About Canberra![]() ![]() Canberra is the seat of the government of Australia, the site of Parliament House, the High Court of Australia and numerous government departments and agencies. On the map you can see that Canberra is a planned city. Australia became an independent nation on 1 January 1901 and the country was in need for a capital. The site where Canberra should be built was selected in 1908 and construction begun five years later in 1913. The city's layout is based on geometric shapes like circles, hexagons and triangles. Today the Nation's Capital has a population of about 381,000 inhabitants (in 2014). Just Zoom in to see Parliament House, the meeting place of the Parliament of Australia.
