Vacations - Australia
Most international travelers jet into Sydney, Australia, fly
north to Queensland's Great Barrier Reef or Gold Coast, and then
jet off home again. In doing so, they short-change themselves.
They miss the amazing diversity of the world's largest island.
If you fall into that trap - after all the planning and expense
of flying 'down under' - you will kick yourself when you get
home and find out what you missed.
Do yourself a favor now. Put Canberra - the 'bush capital' - on
your agenda, and multiply the richness of your visit to
Australia. Oh, it will not compare with experiencing the dust
and the flies and the emptiness of the vast Red Centre, or the
beauty, tranquility and peace of Tasmania. But it will give you
an insight into the unique Australian culture that you will not
find in the homogenized trappings of the most popular tourist
destinations.
Canberra is Australia's capital, a city of 350,000 people that
holds the key to the nation's treasures. Just three hours from
Sydney by car, bus or train - or a mere half hour flight -
Canberra is one of the world's few planned cities. It's called
the 'bush capital' because it is surrounded by native bush land,
with large tracts of woodland separating its town centers and
suburbs. Yet hidden beneath its leafy surrounds is a thriving
modern city with stylish restaurants, hip bars, boutique
shopping, fun for the kids, a busy calendar of festivals ... and
easy access to nature.
If you visit in January you can enjoy Summernats, a four-day
'ultimate car show' that attracts car buffs from around the
nation. There is a 10-day multicultural festival in February,
and March packs in three 10-day

Immigration Activists Frustrated By Pace Of Reform
President Obama promised to make overhauling immigration laws a top priority in his first year as president, but the odds that it will happen even in his second year seem long. Thousands of activists plan to converge on Washington, D.C., in hopes of prodding him to action.
festivals - folk music, hot air
balloons and community celebrations free to all-comers. In
April-May it's car rally, wine, heritage, military remembrance,
and chamber music, then science, gospel and various other
sporting extravaganzas through the rest of the year. October is
special, too, for the famed Floriade, Australia's largest flower
festival. More than a million colorful bulbs and annuals bloom
on cue, creating a vibrant display unrivalled by any other event
of its kind.
Canberra's uniqueness, though, lies in the way it showcases the
entire nation. From the seat of this young country's political
power to world class museums and art galleries, sporting
institutions, Aboriginal cultural activities, and easy access to
beautiful coastlines, ancient mountains and historic sites,
there is a diversity and quality of experience that too many
tourists miss. National facilities showcase the treasures of the
nation, often in hands-on experiential formats that offer an
intriguing insight into the Australian character, leading edge
research and democracy. And you, too, can experience that
journey from indigenous continent to modern multicultural
nation.
Just make sure you allow enough time in your schedule to
explore, linger longer, and enjoy all Australia's bush capital
has to offer.
