Canberra is modern city, set within extensive parks and gardens, its name is thought to mean ‘meeting place’, is derived from the Aboriginal word Kamberra. The design and layout of the city was planned by Walter Burley Griffin, a major 20th century American architect, who won an international design competition in 1912, incorporating significant areas of natural vegetation that have earned Canberra the title of the "bush capital".
