Canberra, the Capital City of Australia

Canberra isn't just the capital city of Australia, is also the cultural city of Australia.

Higging's hut is a private property in the national park, one of few remaining that has always been used for mustering and has horses paddocks, cows yards and operates a horseback tour from
