One of the main sights of the capital is the Botanic Garden the total area of which estimates 50 hectares. Here you can see over 6 thousand of types of plants many of which look like they have come from fairytales. There is a huge eucalypt grove in the garden and a garden of herbs. Those tourists, who want to find out more about Australian aboriginals, will enjoy visiting Australian National Gallery. Its halls exhibit over 70 thousands of items describing everyday life and culture of local people. Here you will also find works of European masters and works of modern painters. National Portrait Gallery provides the fullest outlook of the modern art. It was opened in 1994 and since that time the gallery became a place of frequent art exhibitions featuring rare items from private collections.
