Territory (ACT), in southeastern Australia, and is about
150 miles (240 km) southwest of Sydney

History of Canberra

 A small squatters’ settlement of stockmen, called Canberry
or Canbury was made there as early as 1824. By 1836 the
name had evolved to Canberra.

 Following the inauguration of the commonwealth in 1901,
the site was chosen for the new capital in 1909, and the
delineation of the ACT followed.

 Canberra lies on a plain at the foot of 6,200-foot (1,900-
metre) spurs of the Australian Alps, enjoying warm summers
and cool winters and receiving considerably less rainfall than

the surrounding highlands.

 In early 2003, wildfires caused extensive damage to
Canberra and its suburbs, where some 500 homes were
destroyed and several people died. The fire also severely

damaged Mount Stromlo Observatory, which subsequently
was only partially restored. Pop. (2006) 323,327; (2011)
355,596.
