The capital of Australia is Canberra, the largest city in the interior of the country. It is here that all the sights of national importance are located. One of them is the old house of Parliament on the Metropolitan Hill. In the building of architectural value, there is today the Museum of Political History of Australia. In the premises of the Parliamentary Library there is the Museum of Australian Democracy. In Acton, the suburbs of the capital, is located the National Museum of Australia, built in a postmodern style. Part of the Museum’s exposition is devoted to the culture of Aboriginal people, among them drawings on tree bark, and stone tools. Here you can also see the prototype of the first Australian car and the exhibits devoted to the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

Canberra is famous for its memorials, the most interesting of which is the Australian War Memorial. A strict monumental structure of light brick is crowned with an impressive bronze dome. On the walls of the memory hall and on the slabs behind the arches, are carved the names of the places where the Australian soldiers fell in battles, and the names of the dead. In other parts of the memorial are dioramas of battles, samples of military equipment, and battle paintings. Nearby you can see a Japanese submarine flooded off the coast of Australia. The memorial to Captain James Cook was built in honor of the bicentenary of the first voyage of the famous pioneer. It is a composition from a fountain and a huge globe with the trajectory of the Pacific voyage of Cook passing along it on the Australian shores.
