WELCOME Canberra is a young city, a modern city. It’s a city for now and the future that embodies the brilliance and potential that is at the heart of Australia’s growth.

Once you arrive by car, train, plane or bus, you’ll discover that many hotels, attractions and institutions are easily accessed from each other and with just a little extra effort you’ll discover the region’s beautiful wineries, historic villages and relics of our rural past that add to Canberra’s appeal.

Canberra is also an exceptional business destination. It’s a city built for the very purpose of bringing great minds and leaders together. World experts, famous artists, leading researchers, senior executives, federal politicians, media figures and business leaders reside and do business in our city every day. These people are today’s decision-makers, people who influence the nation and make a difference.

Canberra provides that extra element to take your conference to the next level, creating an inspiring and memorable experience your delegates will take home with them. Come to the city of influence and be influential.

Like Australia, Canberra is expansive with a relatively small population, yet it boasts world-class cultural institutions, venues, accommodation and entertainment. Imagine holding your event in the inspiring Great Hall of Parliament House, amongst familiar faces at the National Portrait Gallery, under the wings of a Lancaster Bomber at the Australian War Memorial or within the historical halls of power at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House. These are just some of the many wonderful possibilities available. To help businesses access the many inspirational, interesting and innovative people and places Canberra has to offer, the Canberra Convention Bureau established the Research and Learning Institutes Group (RALIG). Together, this group of 14 key research and learning institutes comprises expertise across just about every field you can imagine and the Bureau is in a superb position to help you connect with the right people.

Australian Academy of Science

The Academy fosters international relations and publishes scientific books and journals including Historical Records of Australian Science which is published biannually. Its focus is the history of science and its contents include high-quality articles and reviews plus biographical memoirs of deceased Fellows of the Academy demonstrating its depth as a research institute.

The Australian Academy of Science was established by Royal Charter in 1954 by Fellows of the Royal Society of London to provide effective national scientific leadership. The Founding Fellows soon decided to establish a permanent headquarters within Canberra’s iconic Shine Dome. The Academy is a private organisation of Australia’s leading research scientists. Its approximately 440 Fellows consist of outstanding scientists from universities and research organisations all around Australia and represent every discipline. The Fellows are elected based on their exceptional contributions to the advancement of science in Australia and internationally. With this remarkable expertise at its core, the Academy actively informs policy and advises government on issues of national importance such as stem cell research, pesticides, ecological reserves, food quality, genetic engineering, human cloning, space science and climate change. The Academy strives to ensure that science underpins public policy wherever it is applicable. The Academy’s iconic Shine Dome is a national heritage-listed building, renowned as one of the outstanding examples of modernist architecture internationally. Architect Sir Roy Grounds won a national competition to design ‘a building to express science and the spirit of science’. Its construction, including custom-built furniture and fittings, was completed in 1959 and it has been known as the home of the Australian Academy of Science ever since. In 2011 an Australian Government National Historic Sites Program grant allowed the installation of coloured external lights, adding the Dome to the list of significant Canberra sites lit up in colour at night.

The Academy is a highly sought after venue for national and international scientific conferences, forums, meetings and exchanges. As an internationally recognised scientific research institute, gatherings at the Shine Dome bring attention and prestige.

Suzanne Cory Professor Suzanne Cory is one of Australia’s most distinguished molecular biologists, and the first woman to be elected President of the Australian Academy of Science. She was awarded her PhD from the University of Cambridge, England, where she studied under Nobel Prize winners including the team that discovered the structure of DNA. Professor Cory’s research has had a major impact in the fields of immunology and cancer, and her scientific achievements have attracted numerous honours and awards. She is currently a Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Melbourne and Honorary Professorial Fellow at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. Her current research focuses on how cells decide to live or die. This knowledge will lead to the development of more effective therapeutics for cancer and degenerative diseases. She was awarded the 2011 Colin Thomson Medal for her contributions to cancer research in July 2011.

Andrew Holmes Professor Andrew Holmes is a distinguished Professor of Chemistry at University of Melbourne, the CSIRO and the Imperial College, London. He is also the Academy’s Foreign Secretary. With a PhD from University College London, Professor Holmes’s research interests span a range of natural and non-natural synthetic targets, including the use of polymers for flexible solar cells. Professor Holmes’s current research includes work on addressing the global energy crisis by developing efficient, flexible, polymer solar cells through the Victorian Organic Solar Cells Consortium. Professor Holmes has won a number of national and international prizes for his work. He has made significant contributions and achievements in research and leadership.

Conference Case Study – Science at the Shine Dome 2011 In May 2011 Professor Tim Flannery, Australian of the Year Simon McKeon, broadcaster Robyn Williams, Barry Jones and other prominent Australians joined more than 260 scientists, teachers and journalists at the Shine Dome to explore the politicallycharged issue of population sustainability. With enthusiastic support from the Executive Committee of Council and Secretariat of the Academy, participants at the three-day conference were treated to a fascinating and challenging program and enjoyed personal access to some of the nation’s best scientific thinkers. Delegates were seated in comfort in the lounge-style lecture theatre, while state of the art audio-visual equipment allowed presentations to be broadcast live over the internet.

Professor Brian Schmidt, ANU

“…thank you very much for all the excellent arrangements. My personal thanks to the many who helped to make this function such an outstanding success.” Sir Gus Nossal “I thoroughly enjoyed the Shine Dome symposium, which was both informative and provocative. I felt privileged to attend.” Bryan Furnass AM

ANU Created by a parliament for a people, the Australian National University (ANU) is a national asset that connects the best Australian thinking, expertise and learning. The University takes this knowledge to the world and brings the world’s best back home. As a result, ANU has won wide recognition as a place of intensive research and education. ANU scholars are not afraid to move past conventional thinking, framing questions and searching for answers that address fundamental problems and the issues of the day. The University is a respected voice in Australia’s national conversation, shaping policy and equipping our leaders with knowledge and confidence. Students at all levels of experience work side-by-side with researchers, sharing in existing knowledge and gaining the self-assurance to search for new answers. ANU is a catalyst to learning for an increasing number of Australians, creating links with regional institutions and providing a range of pathways to study. ANU partners with respected places of knowledge and attracts staff and students from many countries. ANU scholars are known for the breadth and depth of their expertise on Asia and the Pacific. The University’s

graduates fill roles of influence from Beijing to Washington, Jakarta to Port Villa, Perth to Canberra. The University’s main campus is in Australia’s capital city and is only a short bicycle ride to the nation’s corridors of power and cultural institutions. ANU is proud to be part of the Canberra community, one of the most educated and politically engaged cities in Australia’s region.

Professor Brian Schmidt Australia’s newest Nobel Laureate didn’t hesitate when it came to choosing Canberra as a place to live, work and engage in big thinking. Astronomer Brian Schmidt from the Australian National University is a co-recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating. The discovery supports the theory that suggests much of the universe is composed of an unknown material, popularly referred to as ‘dark energy’. Professor Schmidt moved to Canberra from the USA in 1994 to take up a postdoctoral position at ANU. At the tender age of 27, he was leading an international project that turned ancient supernovae into speedometers for the cosmos. “I was provided at the ANU the support to undertake this work, to lead an international team, and that’s something I think that’s really uniquely Australia; to be able to start so young on something so big,” Professor Schmidt says. Almost two decades later, Professor Schmidt is an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow at the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA), based at the iconic Mt Stromlo Observatory in Canberra.

RSAA is home to internationally respected space scientists and space technology design and manufacturing facilities. The school’s intensive research, research-led education and engagement with real-world problems are typical of ANU as a whole. ANU is a national asset that connects much of the best thinking, learning and expertise in Australia. ANU has a strong, interconnected community of scholars who are addressing fundamental problems as well as issues of the day. Professor Schmidt is the latest in a succession of celebrated academics who have called ANU home. He is also a prime exemplar of the ‘open door’ philosophy shared by ANU researchers. The day after learning of his Nobel win, Professor Schmidt was at the lectern helping undergraduate students come to grips with some of the fundamentals of astrophysics. When he’s not working with students or furthering his research, Professor Schmidt is confirming Canberra’s wine-producing credentials by turning the grapes from his own vineyard into pinot noir. And he’s as eager to share the glory as he is to share a glass of red, stressing that the accelerating universe discovery was a team effort. Professor Schmidt shares the prize with his co-researcher Professor Adam Riess from Johns Hopkins University, as well as Professor Saul Perlmutter from the University of California, Berkeley, who led another research team working on the expanding universe question.

Australian War Memorial The Australian War Memorial combines a permanent shrine, a world-class museum, and an extensive archive. The Memorial’s purpose is to commemorate the sacrifice of the over 102,000 Australians who have died in war and its mission is to assist Australians to remember, interpret and understand the Australian experience of war and its enduring impact on Australian society. The Memorial attracts almost a million visitors annually and has won multiple tourism awards. It is a truly inspiring place and its newly refurbished function spaces and high-tech theatre facilities are set among many of its wartime relics, rare military aircraft and paintings by great Australian artists. Housed in a beautiful, architecturally significant building, the Memorial is considered one of the most significant memorials of its type in the world, not least because of the extensive research and expertise contained within it.

Military History Section The Memorial’s Military History Section conducts and fosters research into Australian military history, provides historical advice and interpretation, and helps disseminate knowledge and understanding of the field. The section comprises a team of historians who undertake research on a wide range of subjects and publish their findings in books (including official war histories), research papers, and scholarly and popular articles, notably in the Memorial’s magazine, Wartime. The section’s historians deliver public talks and media interviews at seminars, conferences and other venues on matters of Australian military history. They also provide advice within the Memorial and to other agencies, including the offices of the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, the Prime Minister and the Governor-General.

The Military History Section also plans and organises major history conferences, convened annually by the Memorial, covering a variety of themes and often commemorating significant anniversaries. Visiting university scholars engaged in specific research projects are supervised by the Memorial’s historians under the Memorial’s annual Summer Vacation Scholarships program.

Ashley Ekins Ashley Ekins is Head of the Military History Section. He has worked as a military historian with the Australian War Memorial since 1989. Ashley has published widely on the role of Australian soldiers in the First World War. He has explored the Gallipoli battlefields extensively and since 1996 he has led the Memorial’s annual battlefield tours to Gallipoli as tour leader and has twice accompanied a government-appointed review team to Gallipoli as historical adviser and consultant. Ashley has also researched and written extensively on Australian ground operations in Vietnam. Fighting to the Finish (the final volume in an official history series) covers the Australian Army’s involvement in Vietnam from 1968 to 1973 and will be published in 2012.

Peter Burness Peter is a Senior Historian and the Memorial’s longest serving employee. He joined in 1973 as a curator, and was involved in the development of collections and exhibitions for more than 30 years before joining the Military History Section. He has also visited most of Australia’s significant battlefields and since 1994 has led the Memorial’s annual tours to the Western Front.

the historical aspects of redevelopment for the Memorial’s First World War galleries, and more, leading up to the First World War centenary. Peter is a long-serving member of the Armed Services working group of the Australian Dictionary of Biography and has contributed over 20 entries to the dictionary. He has written books and exhibition catalogues as well as reviews and feature articles for journals and newspapers.

Dr Steven Bullard Steven joined the Military History Section in 1997. He was Project Manager of the Australia - Japan Research Project from 2002, involved with the design and compilation of the project’s database and websites, as well as organising several international symposiums and workshops. As a speaker of Japanese, he was awarded a grant from the Japan Foundation to translate extracts from the Senshi Sosho (war history series), the official account of the Japanese experience of the Second World War. In 2007 Steven was appointed a Senior Historian in the Military History Section. He is currently writing a volume for the official history of Australian peacekeeping, humanitarian, and post - Cold War operations. His volume will document relief efforts by the Australian Defence Force, the Australian Federal Police, and other government organisations in response to natural disasters and emergencies in Australia’s region.

In 2010 Peter was appointed the Lambert Gallipoli Fellow. This involves advising on

National Film and Sound Archive of Australia The National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) is Australia’s living archive, capturing a part of Australia’s memory that can be experienced in ‘living’ vision and sound. The archive’s aim is to enrich Australia’s cultural identity by developing, preserving, promoting and interpreting a national collection of recorded historic and contemporary sound, moving image, documentation and new media, and by making Australia’s audiovisual heritage available to everyone. The national collection is the most complete collection of Australian audiovisual history, knowledge, creativity and achievements on the planet. The collection of over 1.7 million items is diverse and includes material from some of the earliest recorded sound and film in the 1890s to present day recordings. NFSA people have a great breadth of knowledge, expertise, passion and originality of thought which breathes life into the archive’s work with the collection. The audiovisual format is a powerful, relevant and vital form of cultural expression. While most conferences and events use AV in some way, no other venue in Canberra can provide the authentic experience of watching film in its original format, or allow delegates and guests to see and hear what something was like 100 years ago, or provide international archiving, film, audio and preservation experts to put it all into context. Visitors to the archives enjoy seeing and hearing our nation’s stories, the chance to relive memories, the unique cinematic and sound experiences housed in the archive, the pleasure of discovering Australia’s cultural

diversity, creativity, innovation, pioneering spirit, history and heritage, and so much more. In the words of the NFSA Board Chair “we are a collection of people who have an interest in helping to shape the future of the country by allowing a better understanding of its past and its contemporary issues and values and by doing that, we‘re actually enhancing the knowledgebase from which [Australians] can make decisions about the future.” Imagine the keynote speaker at a conference on water-saving being able to show reality film footage of the Murray-Darling basin before the term “water-saving” was even coined, or present to a room full of manufacturers the changes in TV commercials for household products from the 1950s to today. Whether you’re hosting cocktails in the art-deco courtyard, presenting a keynote session in the state-of-the-art Arc cinema or enjoying an intimate session in the period theatrette, delving into the national audiovisual collection and engaging an NFSA expert is a stimulating way to enhance the experience of your conference delegates. Discover how your living archive can add to your event.

Ground in the UK was developed by NICTA’s spin-out company, Audinate. A large number of in-car navigation systems around Australia are supported by the road video analysis software developed by NICTA’s Automap project.

Benefitting the world As part of the Bionic Vision Australia (BVA) consortium, NICTA is developing Australia’s first bionic eye, which has the potential to improve quality of life for vision-impaired people around the world. NICTA’s Implant Systems team is making small and unique implantable devices that will help people manage chronic pain and conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy. Additionally, the Intelligent Fleet Logistics research team is developing technology to optimise the operation of large fleets of vehicles so that productivity can be gained, and congestion and carbon emissions reduced. In 2011 the Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT) journal Review described NICTA’s development of a ‘crash proof’ operating system as one of the top 10 emerging technologies likely to change the world and have the greatest impact. This technology can now be found in well over a billion mobile phones around the world. NICTA’s spin-out company Open Kernel Labs, who commercialised the market leading operating system, has become a leading provider of embedded virtualisation software for smart phones, tablets and other connected devices. NICTA truly boasts world-class research, facilities and people right here in Canberra.

Dr Nick Barnes Dr Nick Barnes is leading a team of researchers working on the visual processing for Australia’s first bionic eye implant. From NICTA’s Canberra Research Laboratory, Dr Barnes specialises in computer vision

embedded within systems, and is particularly interested in the connections between computer vision and neurosciences. The first implants will be on a 98 electrode array meaning there will only be 98 dots with which Dr Barnes and his team will be able to use to encode meaningful information about the implantee’s surroundings to facilitate navigation and improve their mobility. Eventually a microelectric chip consisting of more than 1,000 electrodes and an ultra-tiny wireless data link will be implanted into the eye. This will enable face recognition and improve social interaction for implantees.

Dr Phil Kilby Dr Phil Kilby is a Principal Researcher in NICTA’s Optimisation Group. Phil has extensive experience in the fields of artificial intelligence, transportation and operations research. In addition to leading the STAR Control (Smart Transport and Roads) project, he is the technical lead of the Intelligent Fleet Logistics project which aims to reduce transport costs and CO2 emissions generated by the freight and logistics industry.

NATIONAL TREASURES

As you wander through Canberra’s cultural institutions you are reminded that Australia is an ancient and powerful land with a long and fascinating history. Canberra’s national treasures expose the country’s captivating story and inspire us to consider where we are heading. The Australian story conjures images of extremes. Our remarkable country is home to isolated farming properties and bustling cities, ancient indigenous cultures and state-of-the-art research and technology, exotic wildlife and barren plains. The story is still unfolding and has certainly had its share of highs and lows. Our world-class achievements in science, technology, sport and art are contrasted against times of war, drought, floods and fires. Canberra’s national treasures offer glimpses into the entire Australian story so that we can learn how we got here and ensure that our past is never forgotten.

The National Museum of Australia (NMA) displays thousands of objects throughout its many halls and galleries. You’re met with a multitude of unusual yet strangely familiar objects; indigenous artefacts, early settlement relics, Phar Lap’s heart, the Wiggles’ colourful skivvies, Hills Hoist clotheslines, Holden prototypes and even the prospect of a future Australian city are all on show. History at the NMA is enthralling but if politics is of more interest, the Museum of Australian Democracy, located in Old Parliament House, shares the stories of our political past. Documents, images, offices, bars and private rooms are all on display providing insight into the remarkable characters Australians elected to represent them and the historic events that have shaped our distinctive democracy. The museum is staffed by dozens of wellinformed, passionate people available to speak at your conference, or perhaps just strike up a casual conversation about the building’s many stories and secrets.

All the national treasures are all filled with passionate people. Have one of the curators from the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) speak at your event and you won’t be disappointed. Preserving footage and sound recordings from the first Australian film images to modern Australian music, TV and movies, the archive houses an enthralling collection of recordings depicting people and places. Many of the rare recordings kept by the archive are accessible to the public providing your conference with a fascinating insight into our oral history and audiovisual past. A short walk from the NFSA across Commonwealth Avenue Bridge takes you to the Museum of Australian Democracy. Housed in one of Australia’s most-loved buildings, the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House brings Australian democracy to life. The museum overlooks Reconciliation Place to Lake Burley Griffin, and as the place of so many significant political and historical moments, it provides an inspirational location for your conference or meeting right at the heart of Australia’s political heritage.

The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) and National Portrait Gallery (NPG) are both stunning art galleries on an international scale. The NGA is home to over 12,000 works of art from all over the world while the NPG holds an impressive collection of portraiture of influential Australians. The NPG building won the Sir Zelman Cowan Award for Public Architecture in October 2009. Imagine holding your conference amongst images of Australia’s most outstanding individuals with a keynote speech from the Federal Minister for the Arts. Visible across Lake Burley Griffin from the NGA, NPG and Parliament House, is the iconic Australian War Memorial commemorating the service and sacrifice of Australians at war. The Australian spirit in fighting those wars is captured in this beautiful Art Deco memorial building. The Roll of Honour records the names of more than 102,000 Australians who have died in war while the exhibition spaces display the fascinating, and often uplifting, stories of Australians in war and peacetime. There is no other place like the Australian

War Memorial and it’s impossible not to be moved as you take in the remarkable tales in the shadow of impressive wartime machinery and absorb such an important aspect of Australia’s history. The story continues to unfold at the recently transformed Royal Australian Mint where visitors can witness one of the world’s strongest robots, the National Archives of Australia where the preservation of physical and digital documentation is world renowned and the National Science and Technology Centre, Questacon, which is filled with brilliant and interactive displays and people. As the country evolves, so too does its story. Recent additions to Canberra’s extraordinary collection of national treasures include the National Arboretum and the Canberra Glassworks housed in one of Canberra’s oldest buildings, the renovated Kingston Powerhouse. As Australia’s only cultural centre solely dedicated to contemporary glass art, it’s a remarkable experience to watch the artists at work and discuss with them their techniques and insights.

The Australian story is about succeeding over adversity. When the improbable seems impossible, Australians simply try harder. This attitude is exemplified throughout our sporting heritage too. At Australia’s sporting powerhouse, the Australian Institute of Sport, you can view memorabilia and iconic images from Australia’s sporting triumphs, as well as today and tomorrow’s sporting heroes preparing for their next challenge. With access to these superb venues with mind-expanding collections and some of the most interesting and knowledgeable people in the country, there’s no other place in Australia as rich in culture and knowhow as Canberra.

BE SEEN, BE HEARD, BE UNDERSTOOD

It’s easy to feel inspired when standing on the lawns of Parliament House viewing the panoramic views to Canberra City, the Brindabella Mountain range, the valleys and the bush. It’s easy because as your feet stand comfortably on the lush, green grass that forms part of the roof of parliament, you quickly realise that Australia’s big-decision makers – the powerbrokers, the Prime Minister, politicians, executives, government departments and the Governor General herself – are all based within just a few square kilometres of where you stand. Your event can take advantage of the expertise possessed by these noteworthy people. Many organisations invite federal politicians and senior public servants to be guest speakers at events as a way of raising their media profile and pushing their issues onto the national or political agenda. By including well known politicians and public officials you may also gain the interest of the Canberra Press Gallery. Populated by around 180 national

and international journalists and staff, ‘the Gallery’ is your window to the world, and the world’s window to you. Parliament House, home to the Federal Government, offers business events an unparalleled level of prestige and access to influence. In addition to being the meeting place for parliament, the building is home to over 3,000 original artworks and artefacts including one of the largest tapestries in the world, an enormous indigenous inspired mosaic and even one of only four surviving 13th century editions of the Magna Carta. All this is at your fingertips, and as one of the only houses of parliament in the world that allows gala dinners and conferences to be held within its walls, it truly is a grand and inspirational venue. Yet, the Federal Government is much more than just Parliament House. Within the parliamentary triangle and surrounds sit the multitude of Government departments, each with their role to play in advising Government and serving Australians. The Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy enhances Australia’s communications sectors ensuring the efficient

and effective implementation of programs and growth of Australia’s digital economy, while the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency delivers programs under the Government’s climate change strategy. These departments are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the business of running the country. Add to these the Department of Defence, the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, and of course the Treasury, and you start to realise how much of the country’s operations are within reach in Canberra. By holding your conference in Canberra, you not only gain access to the expertise and influence housed within Government and its departments, you also make the statement that your issues are important and worth listening to. What other city can offer that?

HISTORY OF CANBERRA �

“Here a city may arise where those responsible for

the government of this country in the future may seek and find inspiration in its noble buildings, its broad avenues, its shaded parks and sheltered gardens – a city bearing perhaps some resemblance to the city beautiful of our dreams”

Governor-General Sir Thomas Denman, 12 March 1913.

You don’t have to venture very far into the past to see just how much, and how quickly, the Canberra region has changed. Although Canberra city is less than 100 years old, archaeological excavation confirms Aboriginal presence in the ACT region up to 25,000 years ago. European settlement came in the 1820s by explorers and squatters followed by drovers and pastoralists. Then, in the period around Federation, a fierce battle of words ensued over the location of the new Australian capital. In 1908, after many arguments, the Limestone Plains were chosen and land was reclaimed for the purpose of the capital. In 1911 the design for Canberra was charged to an international competition. The winning entry from Walter Burley Griffin (and Marion Mahoney Griffin) of Chicago,

USA displayed his vision for a planned city that, in his words, “meets my ideal of the city of the future”. Just under 100 years ago on 12 March 1913, at the ‘Foundation Stones’ ceremony on Capital Hill, the Governor-General’s wife, Lady Denman, announced the name of the new capital as ‘Canberra’. The name is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word for ‘meeting place’ cleverly acknowledging the area’s indigenous past while describing the primary purpose of the new city. Since then, Canberra has grown from a young capital into a beautiful, modern and impressive city. Canberra’s past present and future will be celebrated in style as part of the 2013 centenary celebrations – an exciting time to be in Canberra. The region’s history is on display at numerous historical sites including aboriginal cultural sites, early settlement homesteads and original 1920s city buildings. For such a young city, there’s an awful lot of history.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY �

I would like to acknowledge that this meeting is being held on the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal people, and pay my respect to elders both past and present.

Tap into a modern, cosmopolitan city. Canberra is proud to call itself a multicultural city. As home to over 90 foreign missions (including embassies and consulates), residents from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, thousands of international students, significant indigenous heritage, a multitude of religions and places of worship, and multicultural food, events and festivals, Canberra has rightly earned its reputation as a cosmopolitan capital. Particularly popular is the annual National Multicultural Festival which sees thousands of performers, artists, chefs and other contributors take part in in 3 days of colourful, magical and tasty multicultural festivities. Of course the oldest culture in Canberra is that of the local indigenous peoples. The Ngunnawal people are recognised as the traditional custodians of the Canberra region and their culture, both old and new is celebrated at many sites. The Tidbinbilla Nature reserve and Namadgi National Park are full of indigenous cultural experiences, from guided trails

to fascinating stone arrangements, visitors are able to gain an insight into the amazing history of the area. Additionally, you can embrace modern Australia’s connection with its ancient past by including a Welcome to Country, or Acknowledgement of Country ceremony at your event. These practices acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians and custodians of their land. They also promote an awareness of the past and ongoing connection to place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Australia’s multicultural heritage is on display across the city’s national attractions. Indigenous sporting achievements are celebrated at the Australian Institute of Sport while multicultural art and culture are exhibited at the National Museum of Australia, the National Gallery of Australia and other institutions. Enrich your conference or event in Canberra and tap into the city’s remarkable and lively multicultural scene.

Up with the birds!

The art express

Whether you’re an early riser or not, you must catch the sunrise over Canberra from a hot air balloon. There is no better way than a balloon flight to appreciate the changes in light across the beautiful city, reflected in the ripples of Lake Burley Griffin.

Fill the rest of your morning with a quick trip around the National Portrait Gallery, taking in the stunning collection of portraits in an architectural award-winning building, followed by the recently extended National Gallery of Australia just up the road where you can spend as much or as little time as you have and always need more.

7.30am Stroll through Glebe Park Canberra’s largest city park, Glebe Park, is a splendid morning stroll. With each season comes a different experience: the eerie fogs of winter, the flowers and new growth of spring, the warm glow of summer and the coloured leaves of the English elms and oaks in autumn. Beautiful.

8am Breakfast on the Deck at Regatta Point With panoramic views over Lake Burley Griffin, the Deck at Regatta Point is the perfect place for a tasty breakfast. Grab a paper and caffeine hit, and enjoy them with the Deck’s scrambled egg tortilla, New York bagel, chorizo omelette, seasonal fruit salad or whatever takes your cake. Oh, they have cake too.

9am Hit the culture trail Head to Parkes to start feeding your hunger for culture. Start at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House and while you’re there, pop into The Kitchen Cabinet, an unexpected foody’s paradise selling a surprising selection of local produce including Wessex Saddleback bacon, organic jams, local cheeses, wines, herbs, condiments and smoked goods.

12.30PM Dine in at the National Gallery of Australia Finish your dash around the NGA with lunch at the breathtaking Scultpure Garden Restaurant. Set in a pavilion by a tranquil reed pond with entrancing views of the Japanese fog sculpture, the Sculpture Garden Restaurant offers a modern Australian menu with tasty dishes created from locally sourced ingredients and matched perfectly with Canberra district wines.

1.30pm Let’s go shopping! Fashion is king (or queen) at Canberra Centre in the city. With a huge range of designer stores including David Lawrence, sass & bide, Veronika Maine, Bugatti and Hugo Boss, as well as favourite brands such as Witchery, SABA, French Connection, Myer, and David Jones to name a few, you can splurge or find that little something special. Canberra Centre and its North Quarter has rightly earned its reputation as a style hotspot for tourists and locals.

2.30pm

7pm

Coffee break at Cream

Pre-dinner drinks

Cream Café and Bar, in the heart of Canberra City’s restaurant district provides a chic new place to take a break. Whether you’re after a quick takeaway from the Cream express booth, or a sit down in the café’s stylish interior, Cream will give you a welcome caffeine-fuelled breather.

It’s been a long day so sit back and unwind at the Benchmark Wine Bar. This stylish bar with a fresh European menu, and extensive wine list to match, is the perfect place to relax before you head off for dinner.

3.30pm Off the beaten track A little out of the way you’ll find the gem that is the Watson Arts Centre. The spacious gallery offers a continuously changing calendar of exhibitions in various media and includes the workshops of the Canberra Potters Society. On your way back to the City, stop off at the Drill Hall Gallery on Kingsley Street at the edge of the ANU campus. This hidden-away treasure showcases high quality exhibitions of Canberran, Australian and international art.

5pm Lets go shopping… again! A short car or bus trip takes you to the boutique shopping district of Manuka and Kingston. Housed in 1920s arcades you can browse Australian and international labels, gourmet food and wine, exquisite antiques, specialty homewares and fine jewellery amongst the tree and cafe-lined streets.

8pm Dinner at The Boat House by the Lake Set in its own parkland on the water’s edge of Lake Burley Griffin, The Boat House by the Lake is a spectacular place to dine. Its modern menu offers a range of cuisines, or if the choice is too difficult there is a sensational degustation menu available.

10pm Bar or bed? Silly question really. It’s easy to see why King O’Malley’s is considered one of Canberra’s most popular night spots. Located in the city, the relaxed Irish pub provides great food, drinks and live entertainment well into the night.

2am Late night snack? Could I? Should I? Sure, why not? Prepare for bed with a nightcap and late night snack from Tongue and Groove. This stylish bar and restaurant in the City offers an enticing range of beers, wines and cocktails and is a good way to finish the night, or prolong it.

CANBERRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PREMIER

At the heart of the nation, Canberra is an incubator, a high achiever and custodian of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets in science, democracy and culture. Offering an intriguing mix of local, regional, national and international engagement, Canberra will celebrate its ďŹ rst 100 years in a 12 month program of events that cover the spectrum of sport, science, arts, community, architecture, environment, diverse cultures and big ideas. The Centenary of Canberra revels in the energy, passion and determination that gave a new nation a new capital, and rekindles that spirit for the 21st century. Anytime in 2013 will be a great time to re-visit and re-imagine your national capital.

WWW.CANBERRA100.COM.AU

Z00 46772

THE CENTENARY OF CANBERRA IS OPENING A NEW WINDOW ON OUR UNIQUE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Natural Beauty Escape to the bush – it’s closer than you think. Canberra is known as the Bush Capital and it’s easy to see why. Take a look around the capital region and you’ll quickly see how much of it consists of open spaces, grasslands, bush, lakes and rolling hills. Pockets of bushland extend almost to the city centre, so it comes as no surprise to learn that more than half of the Australian Capital Territory is classified as national park or nature reserve. Namadgi National Park to Canberra’s south was established in 1984 and covers 106,095 hectares. The park lies at the intersection of alpine, inland tablelands and coastal environments and as a result, the casual bushwalker is exposed to dramatic changes in wildlife and vegetation including snow gum woodlands and alpine ash forests. Equally stunning is Black Mountain Nature Park. With over 100 species of birds, 500 species of plants and 5,000 species of insects it is Canberra’s most bio-diverse nature park. Enjoy one of the many bushwalking trails and gain spectacular views across the city through the gaps in the Eucalypts. At the base of Black Mountain is the Australian National Botanic Gardens. The Gardens collect and display native plants from across the breadth of Australia. The Gardens have a strong science and education focus and their collection is used for important plant biology classification and research. The Gardens also house a herbarium of preserved plants and hosts a number of free music concerts during the spring and summer. Make sure you bring your picnic blanket! Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is tucked away between the Gibraltar and Tidbinbilla ranges about 40km to the south-west of the city. This stunning reserve is home to an incredible range of wildlife, and landscapes. Recently installed boardwalks will help you catch a glimpse of your favourite Australian animals in their natural setting. There are also dozens of bushwalking tracks, barbecues, parks, playgrounds, rivers and creeks. The area is also home to the Canberra Deep Space Tracking Station. If all that sounds like a bit too much nature, consider some relaxed recreation around one of Canberra’s many lakes and ponds. Most famous is Lake Burley Griffin, a focal point of the parliamentary triangle, however, Lake Ginninderra, Lake Tuggeranong, Kambah Pool and Yerrabi Ponds also attract locals and tourists for waterside fun and entertainment. Isn’t it time you discovered the true nature of the capital?

THE NATIONAL ARBORETUM Following the devastating 2003 Canberra bushfires, the ACT Government announced that an area of burnt-out pine plantation would be reserved for a National Arboretum and Gardens. In May 2005 Taylor Cullity Lethlean Landscape Architects, with Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects, were selected as the winner of the Design Ideas Competition for the Arboretum. Their design, 100 Forests 100 Gardens, features 100 monoculture forests and gardens planted across the arboretum site. The forests and gardens consist of Australian natives and various types of rare, endangered and symbolic trees from around the world. There are already more than 29,000 trees planted at the arboretum with many more planted each month by a team of dedicated botanists and arborists. Set for official opening in 2013 as part of Canberra’s centenary celebrations, the National Arboretum will include a 5-star eco-hotel and function centre plus other public facilities. As one of the few arboretums of its kind in the world, this visionary addition to Canberra’s national treasures will make for a remarkable venue for conferences and business events alike.

SNOWY MOUNTAINS Escape to an alpine paradise. Just two hours from Canberra lay the majestic and picturesque Snowy Mountains. The subject of countless tales and poems, it’s easy to see why the Snowy Mountains have inspired so many for so long. From its glorious ski fields, unique vegetation and wildlife to glacial lakes, historic caves, fishing and of course Australia’s highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, it truly is a high altitude paradise. The wilderness changes dramatically as you enter the spectacular alpine and sub-alpine bushland of Kosciuszko National Park. One and two day guided treks are available to Multi Peaks Glacial Lakes, the Blue Lake and the climb up Mount Kosciuszko itself. However, if that sounds far too energetic, you can always take advantage of the excellent trout fishing at Blowering Dam and Lakes Jindabyne, Eucumbene and Talbingo where a guide will show you the best spots, or follow in the hoofsteps of “The Man from Snowy River” and go racing on the wing across strangely familiar Australian countryside. There are also stone bridge tours, 4WD off-road and quad biking adventures, cave exploring, skiing, tobogganing, spectacular views, chairlifts, Skitube, Discovery and Eco tours plus so much more. The Snowies are an easy daytrip from Canberra or a fabulous getaway for a few days.

THE SOUTH COAST Azure waters, azure skies. Less than 2 hours down the Kings Highway brings you to the glorious South Coast. Stretching from Wollongong all the way to the Victorian border, the South Coast gives you the break you need. Have you ever wondered how oysters are farmed, or what the Gold Rush was really like? Do you like sun, sand and surf? The South Coast of NSW enlightens its visitors at every turn. With long, sandy, unspoilt beaches, magnificent national parks plus countless attractions, the South Coast is all about living life to the fullest. As you travel between Canberra and the coast you might venture into Mogo Zoo. This deceptively large zoo is full of surprises and boasts an array of exotic animals. With everything from a pride of white lions to the cutest troop of mischievous marmosets, it is the perfect stop to break up the trip. While you’re still exhilarated from the spine-chilling warble of the Siamang Gibbon you’ll catch your first glimpse of the Pacific as you cross the azure waters of the Clyde River Estuary where the world’s your oyster. In fact, Wheeler’s Oysters will give you the complete story of the world of oysters, particularly the world famous Merimbula oysters, and then serve them to you fresh from the farm. There’s snorkelling on Montague Island, where you can stay in the restored lighthouse keeper’s cottage and chance to see seals, penguins and even whales. If you remember to pack your sea legs you can venture out onto a river or ocean cruise, or fishing charter from the stunning Merimbula Marina, or simply experience some of Australia’s cleanest waterways by kayak. Yes, there’s more! Kangaroo Valley safaris offer guided bushwalking, canoeing or bicycle tours which can be followed by a quick nine holes or lawn bowls at the always green Coolangatta Estate. It might exhaust you just thinking about it, but what a sensational way to escape the rat race – and so close to the National Capital.

TEStimonial Bringing The Asia Pacific Model United National Conference (AMUNC) 2011 to Canberra for the first time was a rewarding experience. Being in Canberra allowed AMUNC to be hosted by both the High Court of Australia and the Australian National University (ANU), this was wonderful for the law students as never before had AMUNC’s legal simulation been held in a real court – let alone the highest court in the land, Chief Justice French even got involved in the simulations. Being in Canberra allowed AMUNC to source amazing speakers which added depth and richness to the program. Highlights included Professor Hilary Charlesworth, Director of the Centre for International Governance and Justice of ANU and Professor Ian Young, Vice Chancellor of ANU at the opening ceremony. A keynote address was provided by Former Foreign Minister Gareth Evans and there was involvement from staff from DFAT, Ambassadors, the United Nations, Members of Parliament and many well regarded academics. Showcasing Canberra’s cultural institutions by holding dinners at both the Australian War Memorial and Parliament House also added to the significance of the event and impressed the many interstate delegates. We also benefitted from Canberra’s musical talent, as local musician and renowned composer, David Pereira, wrote a UN anthem for the AMUNC opening ceremony. In short, AMUNC was made for Canberra. What better place to hold a model UN than the heart of national capital. Kind regards, Alice Richardson AMUNC Organising Committee 2011
