Canberra Airport
Tucked into the open plains east of Canberra, Canberra Airport is a place whose character is shaped by the broad inland terrain of the Australian Capital Territory. Its terminal and airfield serve the national capital, linking Canberra with Australian cities. The airport lies near the Molonglo River corridor, while the Brindabella Range rises west of the city. Canberra was selected as Australia’s federal capital in 1908 and developed from Walter Burley Griffin’s winning city plan. Parliament House on Capital Hill, Lake Burley Griffin and the national institutions around it give the city a deliberately civic identity. The airport’s extensive apron and runways underline Canberra’s role as a working administrative centre as well as a city of museums and universities.

Australian Capital Territory occupies an inland plateau in southeastern Australia. Surrounded by New South Wales, it combines Canberra, the national capital, with broad bushland and mountain country at the northern edge of the Australian Alps. The Murrumbidgee River crosses the territory’s west, while the Brindabella Range forms a rugged backdrop along its western side. Namadgi National Park protects granite country, eucalypt forest and Aboriginal rock-art sites. In Canberra, Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial reflect the territory’s role in national public life, while Lake Burley Griffin shapes the central city.
