It is one of the best cities in the world to raise a family, thanks to its small-town vibe, friendly community, and lower cost of living. Tourists will enjoy visiting as there’s an efficient transport network that lets them explore the surrounding areas easily. While here, learn about the foundation of the Australian Commonwealth in Canberra’s museums and government institutions.
