Australia's "Washington DC", Canberra was a purpose-built city. The lake more
or less divides the city between government and commercial sections. |

Sydney Harbor
A harbor tour is a "don't miss" thing to do when in town. Sydney is a water
city. |

Coffee in the Tower

Relaxing on the Quay
Site of the Olympics, it is now a prime public/tourist area. Cost raised
eyebrows at the time, but now they love it! |
