Canberra
Canberra is a relatively new city, but people have been doing business in the area since before recorded history. The very name of Australia's capital city is derived from an Aboriginal word which means 'meeting place'. And, with its modern business venues, and accommodation that caters for captains of industry and visiting heads of state, Canberra is an ideal destination for business meetings and events. The city also boasts fabulous restaurants and nearby wineries. It is famous for its national monuments and galleries and has a major share of premier events, including the Canberra Balloon Fiesta, the Canberra District Wine Harvest Festival, and the Subaru Rally of Canberra. For a business meeting with a difference, time it to coincide with one of these extraordinary experiences. Best of all, in Canberra you get the chance to host your own event in a truly prestigious venue - Australia's own Parliament House. Plan a gala dinner in its majestic Great Hall, and enjoy your own private behind-the-scenes tour.
