Canberra Mini Guide
Canberra became the capital of Australia almost by default as a way to stop the arguments about whether Sydney or Melbourne should be Australia’s premier city. Canberra is not a difficult city to drive around as it is well sign-posted without too much traffic. Speed limits can be variable and there are some speed traps as well as road patrols to watch out for. Look out for small blue signs with fuel pumps before you get low on fuel as the stations do not crop up regularly, and be prepared to use the multi-level car parks in the town centre as finding a space on the roads can be tricky.
If you are driving to Canberra then you can take the Hume Highway northwards from Sydney. The journey is just under three hundred kilometres and the speed limit is usually 110 kilometres per hour. The route is on the same decent quality dual carriageway roads that will also take you from Canberra to Melbourne in about eight hours.
