WELCOME

In 2014 the OECD ranked Canberra as the most liveable city in the world. This announcement is something Canberra is immensely proud of, although for those of us that do live here we were not surprised. This reflects the city’s maturation into a truly world-class capital. Canberra has flourished in recent years. The evolving entertainment districts of New Acton, Kingston and Braddon have proved popular with locals and visitors. These bustling precincts are packed with smart and stylish cafes, restaurants, bars and entertainment, ensuring there’s always something fun to do at the end of the day. Frequent festivals, sporting events and a vibrant cultural scene offer something for everyone. As the national capital, Canberra is the proud home to many of Australia’s inspirational landmarks and institutions, such as Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial, the Australian Academy of Science, the National Library and more.

These unique spaces tell the stories of Australia’s past, present and future; their significance makes them ideal venues to host your conference or event. And then there’s the people. THINK CANBERRA and the Research and Learning Institutes Group (RALIG) were established by the Canberra Convention Bureau to connect businesses with Canberra’s many inspirational, interesting and innovative people and their work. World experts, famous artists, leading researchers including Nobel Prize winners, senior executives, federal politicians, media figures and business leaders reside and do business in our city every day. The Bureau can help connect you with these amazing people and their organisations. Canberra is a young and vibrant city ready to impress. It has all the amenities you need in an open and easy environment surrounded by the great Australian bush. Come see for yourself why Canberra is the most liveable city in the world and you’ll discover endless possibilities, a surprising depth of character and an unforgettable experience. We look forward to welcoming you to Canberra for your next business events.

THINK CANBERRA

Canberra is proud of its growing worldwide reputation for innovation and research. Our research and cultural centres, universities and national institutions, all play their part in confirming Canberra’s place as a place of knowledge, culture and influence. Canberra’s areas of strength include health and medicine, education, sport science and performance, defence and security and Australian culture and history — the examples and profiles below give a snapshot of some of these strengths in action and demonstrate the benefits of collaboration. NATIONAL eHEALTH LIVING LABORATORY: BROADBAND-ENABLED INNOVATION IN HEALTH NICTA’s eHealth Living Laboratory (The Lab), is a user-driven open innovation system based on a partnership between industry, citizens, health professionals and government. It enables users to take an active part in the research, development and innovation process to leverage best practice from across Australia to improve national health outcomes though broadband‑enabled sites. The Lab is designed with user-driven innovation at its heart. It is placed in a tertiary GP clinic, called the Health Hub, on the University of Canberra campus. The Hub comprises Ochre Health Medical Centre (a national health care partner in 22 locations through NSW, ACT and QLD), University of Canberra Faculty of Health Teaching Clinic, Laverty Pathology, Capital Chemist and Canberra Imaging. The Health Hub

combines general practice with allied health and diagnostic services including fixed and mobile student-led allied health clinics and teaching spaces. The Lab identifies ways in which healthcare can be improved through the innovative use of ICT. Pooling resources and knowledge with our collaborators and working closely with clinicians, patients, SMEs, students and researchers enables The Lab to effectively address existing issues throughout healthcare, drive innovation, and incorporate ICT into the fabric of medical training and the healthcare industry. At the heart of The Lab philosophy is user-driven design. We enact this through co-developing, co-designing and co‑deploying projects in partnership with end users.

JOHN HOWARD’S PAPERS The John Howard Reading Room in UNSW Canberra’s Academy Library now houses more than 1500 papers from the personal collection of John Howard, Australia’s second-longest serving prime minister. The collection as a whole comprises more than 10,000 personal papers and government records from the early years of Mr Howard’s political career, through to his time as treasurer, opposition leader and prime minister. It is being progressively transferred from the National Archives of Australia to UNSW Australia, under a unique partnership between the two institutions where the custody of a personal collection is transferred under the Archives Act 1983. This arrangement ensures former Prime Minister Howard’s records remain part of the national archival collection, while delivering enhanced access and opportunities for use of the records through UNSW Australia by researchers and the Australian community. Notes, personal papers, correspondence, early Commonwealth records, press clippings, transcripts of speeches and interviews are available now, while papers from Mr Howard’s prime ministerial period will become available as they reach the open access period and are released by the National Archives (between 2019 and 2028). The collection will also be made publicly available online.

Finger: A Handbook (2010). His latest book (co-edited with Professor Andrea Wolk Rager of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio), Edwardian Opulence: British Art at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century, was shortlisted for the 2013 Spears Book Awards in London. Angus is a regular contributor to The Times Literary Supplement, the Burlington Magazine, the Paris Review, Esopus Magazine, and the Australian Book Review.

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, is much shaped by the experience of forging a new republic out of armed revolution, with more than a nod to ancient Roman civic virtue. The National Portrait Gallery in London, by contrast, gives you a sense of gradual evolution—as the national pantheon of British monarchs,

statesmen, scientists, English novelists, poets, and actors. Angus sees our NPG as quite different from Washington in lacking any comparable moment of violent political rupture, and from London in being on the whole far more diverse, even democratic, in our definitions of historical attainment or distinction. He is committed to maintaining the adventurousness of the collection, a hallmark since the NPG was established in 1998; its overall sense of historical and geographical rhythm; its vigour and liveliness; its moments of affection, good humour, and even sharpness of focus and of tone (including moments of darkness and difficulty)—in other words, and in so many of these respects, its very Australianness.

WELCOME TO AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Incorporating welcoming and acknowledgement protocols recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and custodians of their land. It promotes an awareness of the past and ongoing connection to place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. WELCOME TO COUNTRY A Welcome to Country is a ceremony performed by Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people to welcome visitors to their traditional land. It can take many forms, depending on the particular culture of the traditional owners. It can include singing, dancing, smoking ceremonies or a speech in traditional language or English. CANBERRA – A TRADITIONAL MEETING PLACE For over 20,000 years the Ngunnawal Aboriginal people made this region their home. Nomadic by necessity, the seasonal abundance of foods precipitated large gatherings of people, and ‘Canberra’, in the Ngunnawal language, means ‘meeting place’. As people from other tribes travelled into the territory, they offered gifts as a symbol of respect and acknowledgement of the territory and tribe they were visiting. In return, they were invited to stay and leave their footprint on the country of the Ngunnawal.

On behalf of the Ngunnawal people I would like to invite your organisation's conference to meet on this sacred land and I wish your time here to be a peaceful exchange of ideas that is both productive and fulfilling.

Mrs Agnes Shea OAM Ngunnawal Elder To arrange a Welcome to Country for your event you should speak to the following Ngunnawal elders: Mr Carl Brown H: 02 6299 0437 | M: 0414 283 216 Mrs Agnes Shea H: 02 6292 2239 | M: 0404 725 222 Mrs Ruth Bell H: 02 6259 8852 If you cannot arrange for a Ngunnawal Elder to attend your event, or if your event is considered too small to warrant a formal Welcome to Country you can make an Acknowledgment of Country. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY An Acknowledgement of Country is a way of showing awareness of and respect for the traditional Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander owners of the land on which a meeting or event is being held, and of recognising the continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to their Country. An Acknowledgment of Country can be informal or formal and involves visitors acknowledging the Aboriginal

or Torres Strait Islander owners of the land as well as the long and continuing relationship between Indigenous peoples and their Country. At a meeting, speech or formal occasion the speaker can begin their proceedings by offering an Acknowledgement of Country. Unlike a Welcome to Country, it can be performed by a non-Indigenous person. There are no set protocols or wording for an Acknowledgement of Country, though often a statement may take the following form: '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.' Or 'I am honoured to be on the ancestral lands of the Ngunnawal people. I acknowledge the First Australians as the traditional custodians of this continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants who are present.'

Explore Canberra and the region

NEWACTON PRECINCT The NewActon precinct blends arts, culture, dining and living in a modern atmosphere with hidden nooks and crannies just waiting to be discovered. Eateries like the Parlour Wine Room and Monster showcase clever cooking, while Mocan & Green Grout offers a café with a conscience. Not one of the many eclectic bars, restaurants and cafés is ordinary. Accommodation in NewActon offers some of the most interesting in the capital. The artisan Hotel Hotel offers 68 unique rooms while the Peppers Gallery Hotel offers luxury art deco style in a building steeped in history. And as you wander between bars, eateries, Palace Electric Cinemas and entertainment, visitors can take in the extraordinary collection of artworks that populate the precinct. Commissioned works by contemporary artists create a warm environment that truly captures the imagination.

BRADDON PRECINCT Braddon’s commercial strip has transformed itself from a row of caryards into a collection of restaurants and bars to rival Lygon Street in Melbourne or King Street, Newtown. Tightly packed together around Lonsdale Street you’ll find countless options to take your stomach on a culinary tour. Elk & Pea is popular for breakfast, Italian and Sons will tempt you with just about anything that comes from its wood-fired oven and Sweet Bones is the spot for those looking for an organic, vegan treat. Industrial-themed brewpub BentSpoke is run by an award-winning master brewer who’s always trying something new and Knightsbridge Penthouse is the place for cocktails and music. On top of the eateries and drinkeries, you’ll discover a number of retailers and boutique shops selling everything from art to vintage clothing. The area’s shift towards fringe cultures has been welcomed by Canberra residents and has pleasantly surprised visitors.

KINGSTON FORESHORE PRECINCT The Kingston Foreshore development will change the way you think about Canberra. This precinct of bars, clubs, restaurants and entertainment lining picturesque canals has become a vibrant waterfront social hotspot. Amongst the well-established attractions such as the Old Bus Depot Markets and the Canberra Glassworks, you’ll discover a variety of new establishments at your disposal. The only difficulty will be in choosing which one to try first. C Dine Bar has an emphasis on seasonal produce while Morks Restaurant continues to win accolades for its outstanding Thai cuisine. If you love coffee then you’ll appreciate how seriously the Lonsdale Street Roasters and 38 Espresso take their coffee. The Walt and Burley, plus the Rum Bar, are just two of the options for late night drinks. Take a stroll along the waterfront at Kingston Foreshore and enjoy Canberra’s newest social scene.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO

CULTURE AND SHOPPING

FAMILY

Visual art is a prominent characteristic of Canberra with public art across the city. Permanent and temporary exhibitions fill the many large and small galleries including the National Gallery of Australia.

Canberra is a family friendly city. It is safe and clean and offers plenty of things to do for people of every age.

There is also a rich and engaging performing arts scene in Canberra. From large-scale concerts and performances at the AIS, Royal Theatre, Street Theatre, Canberra Theatre and Playhouse, to the numerous smaller venues scattered throughout the city and suburbs, you’ll find theatre, comedy, music and more all throughout the year. Canberra’s shopping experience has grown to rival the shopping precincts of Australia’s major metro centres. As well as large shopping malls, the city boasts interesting boutiques, street fashion, alternative music stores, designer shoes and antique books hidden away in walkways and street stores.

Many of the national attractions have sections or exhibitions especially for children. Questacon and the National Dinosaur Museum are long‑time favourites, however, the Canberra Glassworks, the National Library of Australia, CSIRO Discovery and other attractions will also have the little ones riveted. The many open spaces around Canberra can also offer simple pleasures. Kids love to roll around on the grass in front of Old Parliament House or count the flagpoles at Reconciliation Place.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO FOOD AND WINE Covering a vast area around Canberra, Capital Country offers a beautiful Australian landscape dotted with towns, wineries, country markets, distinguished restaurants and a spirited food and wine festival calendar. The region, which includes the Southern Highlands, Goulburn, Yass, Braidwood, Bungendore, Young and other towns and villages is gaining an enviable reputation as a food and wine hotspot with some of the best rural experiences of country Australia. The historic villages of Braidwood and Bungendore showcase original colonial architecture to match their great food and wine. Braidwood, which has a superb example of a 19th century streetscape, was the first town in New South Wales to be heritage‑listed adding a harmonising aesthetic to its culinary offerings. These towns and others are just a short drive from Canberra.

Explore Canberra and the Region

The region’s wine production is spread over a number of sub-regions including Murrumbateman, ACT/Hall and Lake George and Bungendore. Many of the wineries have cellar doors, cafés and restaurants. The region produces some of Australia’s best wines – particularly Shiraz and Riesling, but also Pinot Noir. Lerida Estate’s 2013 Shiraz Viognier received the Chair of Judges Award for one of Australia’s best Shiraz Viognier wines at the 2014 National Wine Show.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO

ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES

SPORTS

Canberra offers visitors a range of exciting outdoor adventure activities including kayaking, abseiling, canoeing, caving and cycling. Those with a love of the outdoors will appreciate Canberra’s clean bush environment and remote locations to explore.

As the capital of sport-loving Australia, you’d expect Canberra to take its sport seriously – and it does. Canberra is, of course, home to the Australian Institute of Sport which hosts many sporting events. Canberra is also home to the Canberra Raiders and ACT Brumbies, the Prime Minister’s XI cricket, Canberra Capitals basketball team, CBR Brave Ice Hockey team, Canberra Cavalry baseball team and many more.

Adventure activities such as cycling or Segway hire can be enjoyed without leaving the city, or go further afield and explore the surrounding region – abseiling at Cotter Rocks, bushwalking through the national parks or even head up to the ski fields. For those who don’t want too much adventure, a gentle canoe on Lake Burley Griffin can be a great way to take in the capital.
